But you're application will look bad when every other competitive applicant submits SAT Subject Test scores. Though not mandatory, they strongly recommend submitting Subject Test scores if taking the ACT (because ACT Science isn't really science)

Correct. Columbia now allows score choice.

Columbia's Testing Policy for Score Choice
Applicants may select the Score Choice option for the SAT or choose to submit specific ACT composite scores. However, it should be noted that the application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor to determine their suitability for admission. When evaluating applicants, we consider only the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT and the two highest required SAT Subject Tests or the highest Composite on the ACT, always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation.

Sorry for the typo. I meant your instead of you're.

I'm a stickler for proper grammar (at least to the best of my knowledge).
