[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton and Yale both require four.  [/quote]

[b]According to the links they recommend, but do not require, 2. In fact it's pretty soft language. [/quote][/b]

No, it's "strongly recommended" for Princeton.  And if you are applying for engineering or the hard sciences, they want to see Chemistry and Math II.[/quote]A[b]ny time you see 'recommended', I take that as code for the schools wants it.  I hate college double talk.  If you don't want it then be explicit and say so even if you have to say 'we will NOT accept subject tests.[/quote][/b]

Yes, my point when I said "No, it's strongly recommended" was exactly that - they say "strongly recommended" but if you are applying against 27,000 other kids from around the world who are supplying those tests, you had better do it.  The reason they don't "require" it is because the cost of applying to colleges has become prohibitive.  Some families just can't afford the endless testing and tutoring and the colleges understand that.  But if you are serious about applying there, then, yes, you had better supply at least two, preferably above 700.[/quote]
