<p>I was...informed today that some colleges still want 3 SATIIs (even though the idea is new SAT + 2 SATIIs). Is this true? Apparently, I heard something along the lines of Stanford being one of those colleges, as well as many other private ones, and I'd like to know if it was true so I can plan ahead.</p>
<p>That's what my college counselor told me as well...I'm planning to take 3 SAT II's just to be on the safe side. Some of the colleges that I'm planning to apply to said that only 2 SAT II's are required for Class of '06 - so check out the websites of any colleges that you have on your prelimary list.</p>
<p>It would be extremely unfair for schools to demand the new SAT I (which is longer than the old SAT I) and still require 3 SAT IIs. I don't see the point, as the new SAT I is basically the old one + SAT II Writing. Schools like Amherst and Vassar have already stated on their websites that the new SAT I requires only two SAT IIs.</p>
