<p>USC doesn't require SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>Also does USC look at only look at Unweighted GPA or do they also look at Weighted GPA?</p>
<p>Yes, USC does not require SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>They do not look at weighted GPA because every school calculates it differently. They look at unweighted GPA but in conjunction with classes taken.</p>
<p>not taking the subject tests will probably hurt you though because most other people take it. colleges want to see you take the opportunities given to you.</p>
<p>yes, SAT IIs are definitely helpful. i wish i had taken some.</p>
<p>that said, i was accepted and offered an interview for presidential scholarship (4.0 uw and 33 act). i did not take any subject tests.</p>
<p>It's better to go ahead and take the SAT subject tests. Besides, you probably have to take them for many other colleges anyways. For example, UC schools all require them.</p>
<p>Many colleges let you substitute the ACT for SAT subject test. At Ivy League Penn for example they require the SAT 1 and (2) SAT 2 tests OR the ACT only. My son did not take SAT subject tests as many of his schools did this.</p>
<p>Kind of interesting....I am not sure of USC and the ACT loophole</p>
<p>Ok .</p>
<p>what percentage or fraction American Indian does one have to be to mark it as their ethnicity on their applciation. someone told me only 1/32 American Indian would suffice.</p>
<p>bump bump bump. yeah b2k.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, USC requires homeschooled applicants to submit 3 SAT subject test scores.</p>
<p>caliboi- I had always heard it was 1/16. Try calling a random school and ask the admissions officer.</p>
<p>I also believe it is 1/16 to be considered a Native American. And most ask you to provide proof of tribe membership. So, you can't just check that box to give yourself a boost. My friend tried to do that. Then they called and asked him to send in proof of tribe membership. I laughed at him for a long time after that happened.</p>
