<p>Do they put a lot of emphasis on the SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I doubt it… I did really well on the ones that I took (lit- 790, writing-790) but I only took two, and they were both english; im fairly sure that they require more than that.</p>
<p>Yeah, make sure you check the website for which SAT II’s they require.</p>
<p>As for how much emphasis they place on them - not a lot. Recently they’ve been making a big deal out of how they’ve rejected x people with 1600’s, rejected y valedictorians, etc., just to show that stuff doesn’t make or break you. They do place a lot of emphasis on recommendations and essays, far more than they do on SAT I or II. It’s the subjective stuff, the stuff you can’t put into numbers, that they look for.</p>
<p>They want math SAT II’s - DS has done two others, we may just bag it, too many other schools don’t have these requirements, I honestly think they’re all getting carried away with themselves.</p>
<p>The school of architecture places alot of emphasis on SAT IIs, as they have found that the resaults are good predictors of a students success. I dont know how much this goes for other schools, but I do think that they look closely at whichever SAT IIs, as well as SAT Is apply to whichever college it is that you apply to.</p>
