I was basing my answers off of the responses that I got from admissions officers when I posed this question.



Silver, would you mind sharing the names of the colleges? It’s just that I would be shocked if ANY adcom had any inkling of the % of the Subject Tests. Moreover, they just don’t care. A 750+ is a 750+. They do look for breadth, of course. And, I believe that they mentally discount the language tests for native speakers – other than URMs.



Assessing students on the basis of their performance relative to others is very useful information for a university.



Yup, and the score – not percentile – tells them that.
