    SAT Subject Tests are required for all of the Ivy Leagues, although many will not require them if you take the ACT with Writing. The number of SAT Subject Tests varies by school, so I will tell you all of their requirements.

    Brown University- 2 SAT Subject Tests are required ONLY IF you send them your SAT score. If you choose to take the ACT with Writing, SAT Subject Tests are not required.

    Cornell University- The SAT Subject Test requirements vary by college, but all of them require 2 SAT Subject Tests. Most colleges recommend Math Level 2, and a few recommend a science test.

    Columbia University- You must take 2 SAT Subject Tests regardless of whether you took the SAT or ACT. If you are applying to Columbia Engineering, you must take any mathematics test (preferably Math Level 2) and either Chemistry or Physics.

    Dartmouth College- 2 SAT Subject Tests are required, regardless of whether you have taken the SAT or ACT.

    Harvard University- 3 SAT Subject tests are required regardless of whether you have taken the ACT or SAT.

    Princeton University- 3 SAT Subject tests are required, regardless of whether you taken the ACT or SAT.

    University of Pennsylvania- 2 SAT Subject tests are required if you take the SAT. If you take the ACT, SAT Subject Tests are not required.

    Yale University- 2 SAT Subject tests are required if you take the SAT. If you take the ACT, SAT Subject Tests are not required.

    So just to be safe, you should consider taking 3 SAT Subject Tests with one in Math Level 2, and another in a science.

    Good Luck!

    YES. For the Ivy League, they require SAT IIs. Check their websites to see which one they require (For example- If you want to major in engineering, you have to take the Math Level 2 test). But, your basic SAT II tests should be a Math test, at least one science test, English, and History.

    Yes. Some require two, others require three.

    Frequently, the required exam is Math II; it's also a good idea to have Physics/Chemistry if you plan on any science at all, and a Humanities (language, literature, history) to show your roundedness.

    absolutely! you should check the websites for which ivy league school you would like to attend and see what their undergrad requirements are. the most important ones would have to be the ones that they require. not too hard is it?

    in case you do not take the two, you will probably not additionally be considered. the user-friendly of the tests is the ACT, so in case you do not take it, the school would question your dedication. maximum babies who pass to Ivy Leagues have ACT scores of 34 or larger.

    Yep, and they will require 2 or even 3. I think you do Math 2, something that closely lines up with your major, and another of your choice.I think you should try to balance the tests between humanities and sciences/math.

    Cornell's Hotel School only needs one SAT II score. It's only Math (any level) they want.
