Since you mentioned Rockefeller, I thought I should tell you that I was there this summer for undergraduate research, and the dean said they use the subject test score to check you out if they don't know your undergrad institution's reputation. They value the GRE general test less and only require it because everyone else does and they may as well see your scores. That's what the dean said anyway. I didn't take a subject test myself because I'm trying to get into computational biology/bioinformatics so most programs don't even recommend it.
