Penn no longer requires subject tests !!

The website says they are required with the SAT. They are not required with the ACT.

However, in most cases, I think you are going to be well served to take them, if at all possible. I think top schools are doing this so they do not have to reject exceptional applicants who have not taken subject tests. Probably in particular, candidates with a hard hook.

If you do not have a hard hook, I would urge you to make every effort to take them, or you may be at a disadvantage in an already exceptional pool of applicants.
