Good subject scores/lower SAT

Maybe it depends on the major or school. I know when my son’s friend (who wanted to major in English or something similar) did very well on AP Lit tests, subject tests, but didn’t do as well on the SAT, certain colleges,even if they weren’t needed, said she could send those tests to help them see her as a whole. That along with her solid school record, recs, etc. got into honor colleges and she did very well. Again, certain colleges want to know you could master a subject, especially if that is your intended major. One test shouldn’t be the only component and luckily for most colleges, it isn’t.
