<p>Does anyone have any evidence that there is a strong preference among admissions folks that the subject tests show breadth (e.g. combo science, language, math etc.) or should one just go with one’s best scores?
This is of particular interest for those colleges that require 3 or more subject tests. I know some people THINK that you have to show variety, but does anyone have any specific knowledge on this?</p>
<p>My guess is that it would depend how good/bad the scores are.</p>
<p>For instance, a few of my friends got 800/800/800 MathII/Chem/Phys and still got into schools like Cornell. I mean, it doesn’t really show breadth but who can argue with three 800’s?</p>
<p>I heard from an admissions person at a school in NY that they do care about breadth more than “best” scores. ie, 3 scores in science that are 750’s are less than like 5 scores around 700s-750 in each subject</p>
<p>^which school?</p>
