[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is looking at SLACs.  Most did not request SAT subject tests.  Only one says they are “considered.”  Do they really need to take them?  Other than Ivy and Georgetown, which schools care about them?[/quote]
Not many schools still care about them.  (It is always important to check the standardized test requirements directly on the college's website.)[/quote]

I would not fall to the trap laid by those schools that say they won't require test scores. If you don't submit them, they automatically assume your scores are bad because they know you most likely took the test since many schools you would apply to still require test scores. Imagine you are competing with some other kids that are as good as you in every other aspect but they have good test scores and you don't, which ones would you choose if you were the admission officer?

This is why schools still accept test scores even when they do not require them. If they really don't consider test scores in their decisions, they would not accept the test scores at all. It's just a gimmick to attract more students to apply so they can drive down their acceptance rate.
