This article is a couple of years old but provides good insight.

"While only around 100 of the 3,000 colleges and universities across the country use SAT Subject Tests in their admissions decisions, those that do tend to be the most selective and prestigious schools. For schools like Stanford and Harvard, which accept only 7-10% of the 30,000+ highly qualified students seeking admission each year, SAT Subject Test scores are every bit as important as SAT/ACT scores. Though students will never be admitted to an elite university on the basis of test scores alone, they can certainly be rejected solely on this basis. In other words, [b]when you're competing against the nation's best and brightest, a 2400 on the  SAT is meaningless if your SAT II scores are in the 85th percentile[/b].  Unfortunately, many students, parents and schools treat the subject tests as an afterthought and believe they require no special preparation. Indeed, the forums of College Confidential and similar sites are filled with parents’ and students’ regrets about not taking the SAT IIs more seriously."

That's interesting because Harvard isn't required SAT II's anymore if a student is financially challenged so I wonder how much weight they will give them.[/quote]
