If you choose to use a combination of SAT and ACT test results, you must report all scores from both testing agencies. The SAT Subject Tests are recommended but not required. Because Yale participates in Score Choice for the Subject Tests, you may select which of those scores, if any, you would like to submit.
Foothold in Hawaii. Interest in Hawaii began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith. Since the 1840s, keeping European powers out of Hawaii became a principal foreign policy goal. Americans acquired a true foothold in Hawaii as a result of the sugar trade. The United States government provided generous terms to Hawaiian sugar growers, and after the Civil War, profits began to swell. A turning point in U.S.-Hawaiian relations occurred in 1890, when Congress approved the McKinley Tariff, which raised import rates on foreign sugar.
