Wharton SAT Subject test requirement?

So I know on the website it says it is "recommended" to take Math SAT Subject test but has anyone gotten in with just SAT I or ACT?

And if i do get time to take it like in December, is it okay if I just take one SAT Subject test that is Mathematics II and not take any other subject test?

Hi,

At the info session, the admissions officer said no subject test were required with the ACT. She said if you took the ACT you are "done." I was under the impression that you had to take two subject tests to accompany the SAT.

This person got in with only ACTs (but did take subject test): Official University of Pennsylvania 2016 RD Results

same with this one: Official University of Pennsylvania 2016 RD Results

If you submit SATs, you are required to take two subject tests. I think most applying to Penn don't take ACTs by themselves. That may or may not be because east coast students tend to go for SATs (as far as I know, ACTs are still kinda new around here, most people I know are still taking SATs).
