<p>I applied to a lot of schools, and I messed up a few testing requirements. I did take my SAT Subject Tests but I cancelled the scores and I couldn't afford to retake them. So I applied to MIT, Princeton, and Dartmouth, and they all require Subject Tests. I emailed the admissions councillors saying that while the application have been submitted I can't meet the testing requirements, but you guys think there's anychance they'll look at my application without it?</p>
<p>Candidly, I do not. In the normal review process, the first application reader receives a dossier ONLY when it is complete (to the institution’s standards). Without the Subject Tests, your application will not be complete and will probably never be evaluated. Further, you should understand that these excellent schools would not be fair to their tens-of-thousands of annual applicants if they allowed your application to be assessed with no Subject Tests, but did not extend a similar variance to thousands of other candidates.</p>
