<p>Tokenadult, I believe the UC system wants three SAT-IIs, and one must be Math Level II.</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd was the last college that did not accept the ACT, and they changed that policy a year or two ago, in part because they wanted to reach potential applicants from the midwest where the ACT is dominant.</p>
<p>We are waiting on PSAT scores for S2 to see how seriously we should consider the ACT. He brought up the subject first; his school’s IB coordinator says kids in the full diploma program (at least here) tend to better on the ACT, probably because they are so well prepared in their classes for all subject areas.</p>
<p>He already has two SAT-II exams completed, which should be fine for every school except Georgetown, should he decide to apply there. If he decides to go with a third, he’ll take Spanish right after the AP and IB exam.</p>
<p>We’re shooting for SAT in February, and ACT (if needed) in April. Unless his scores are way out of line with expectations (based on SAT-IIs and PSAT), we will probably continue the “one and done” philosophy.</p>
