Son is applying ED to Johns Hopkins which “recommends” subject tests, but not required. Should he submit his 700 math 2 and 710 bio-m? Math was taken last month and bio taken in 9th grade. He is interested in Economics. He has a heavy load this year, plus he is in full swing in his sport, so will not have time to study for future subject tests. His ACT comp is 34, but only an 8 on the writing. He is not submiting his SAT at all. I know some schools say if you take ACT with writing, you don’t have to submit subject tests. Will these scores be neutral or negative? We don’t have financial excuse to not take subject tests. No big hooks

His AP exam scores are a mixed bag: Calc ab 5, Stats 5, Physics 1 4, Chem 4, Compsci 4, World 4, Spanish 3, Eng lang 3 Bio 3. Perhaps he should not list the 3s?

Thanks!
