<p>I'm wondering if colleges (specifically Cornell University, College of Arts and Sciences, if you know about that particular area) would prefer to see okay SAT II grades in subjects I hope to pursue in college (I want to double major in French and Physics) or better scores in less relevant subjects. I can't take the Physics one, since my schedule has never allowed me to take Physics at any level, but this is my 3rd year of French, and I excel in the class. Having taken the practice SAT II French test, I'm not sure if I could get close to 800, considering I was unfamiliar with some of the vocabulary. Would my choosing other subjects for my 2 required tests reflect poorly on me, compared to taking French plus an irrelevant test, even if I got higher scores?</p>
<p>Anybody have any advice? It can just be general advice for any college, but obviously if someone knew about Cornell in particular, that’d be nice.</p>
<p><em>bump</em> At this point, I think I’ll do history for one, so now I just have to decide if I want to try French </p>

<p>If your questions are Cornell specific, why not contact Cornell? They have no reason to keep their admissions policies a secret and would be happy to talk to you. Any replies you receive to this thread would be guessing compared to a direct conversation with the college.</p>
<p>Really I’m just looking for a general guideline and opinions, such as what have other people done. If you were going for pre-med, but weren’t sure you had enough biology background to take the Biology SAT II, did you do something else, or did you take the chance, etc.</p>
<p>Why would you care what other people have done? They may have been right or wrong in deciding what to do. Cornell will give you the correct information.</p>
