<p>Hello again:).
I have to say that based on almost everything I have read, I have to agree with the other posters on this one. Above a 750 is pretty much fine, and taking a ton of tests stops impressing them at some point. I read somewhere that they like to see that you spent your last year of high school doing more than studying for standardized tests. My friend got into Harvard with 3 SAT II tests while the requirement was still 3. And she reported only 1 AP score which she got a 5 on although she took 3 (and got 4’s on two). She thinks what got her in was her essay, recs, high ACT/SAT (took both…) and her involvement in school activities. But above all else she said it was her essay that probably did the most for her (as well as for most successful, no hook applicants). </p>
<p>That is why I am not too stressed with AP tests or SAT Subject Tests, I think having 750+ scores on 2-4 will be perfectly acceptable. I also don’t think that standardized tests-quantity or quality- will ever be a real deciding factor in an admissions decision to a top 20 school. High scores can give you an edge, but there’s only so far that can go. Get the best scores you can on the SAT and a few Subject Tests, but don’t stress. And if you must stress, make it about your essay and actual school. The last thing you need is to submit a bunch of test scores trying to make up for the bundle of C’s that you got while trying to study for them…lol.</p>
<p>I just talked to her and another girl now at Princeton and they both seem to agree. Study for what you can, but be an overachiever elsewhere. 
Hope this helps, it sure helped me!</p>
