[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I can tell you is that [b]Princeton and Yale both told us they WANT to see four subject matter tests in english, history, math and chemistry, so that's what we're doing.[/b]  And SAT well over 2250 and ACT of 34 or higher.  You can fight semantics all you want but when you are a white male competing for the 3% of seat left over after the legacies, athletes, URMs and perfect score students get their seats you do whatever they suggest.[/quote]

How did they tell you? During info session? This is news to me. [/quote]I was at the Coast to Coast information session on 6/4 in Bethesda.  The Princeton representative said that as of two weeks ago (from the info date), Princeton would no longer require subject tests (optional).  I don't think she was unsure of her facts.

The PP can take as many subject tests as they want but it doesn't change the fact that Princeton has stated no required subject tests on their website and in front of 300 people in the ballroom at the Bethesda Hyatt.  But I do understand why the PP thinks it's necessary to take four tests for as much admission ammunition possible.[/quote]

The above information about 4 subject matter tests is flat out wrong.  It is not necessary (nor are they saying it) to take 4 tests.  This is nothing more than DCMUM snarl by someone trying to out pace other applicants.  Sure you can take 7 tests if you want to impress the admissions folks.  But no way is it required.  [/quote]
