More than 3 SAT Subject Tests

Do colleges get impressed by high scores in 5 or 6 SAT IIs? Or is it better to stick to 3?

Most ask that you send 3 or less.

*Unless you are home-schooled.

Right, forgot about that. Home schooled is usually 5 I think

Got it. Thanks.
But would it impress them if a not-home schooled kid gives more than three?

if you're an international student, i think it might help to be more? b/c they aren't familiar with your ECs apparently.

I AM an international student. But how would additional SAT Subject Tests compensate for ECs?

If you didn't have the opportunity to take part in many ECs, you would probably be able to redeem yourself my mentioning it in an essay and proving you have incredible academic prowess.

I'm not sure how the additional SAT subject tests would impact your application. I say submit them all. I think AP's might be better though

Thanks Sirensong, but that's not what we're talking about here.



I'm an international student doing A Levels. No AP-ish nonsense for me. :P
