Thanks for your response. However I disagree with your reasoning regarding test taking. The content of the subject tests are designed to reflect specific courses that you take in High School, and, despite receiving As in both AP Chem and AP US history, I did quite poorly on both of their respective subject tests. This is because the curriculum at my school is taught independently at the teacher’s discretion and doesn’t adhere to what the college board wants you to know. Additionally, the time constraints on these tests are difficult even if you understand the material.
I find GT’s decision to include so many of them as part of their application a little antiquated given that most prominent elite university’s have eliminated them from their application process at this point.
