<p>whats the deal with Brown in making you submit 2 SAT II subject tests as a transfer student? one of the major reasons for transferring is to right what you did wrong in high school, to get into the college that you deserve. isnt it obvious that a lot of people that are looking to transfer might not have taken any SAT IIs? i sure as hell didnt. i had no motivation in high school and now my first priority is my studies. its just annoying that i cant even apply to Brown because i didnt take any of these subject tests. i guess thats their way of weeding out unqualified students but that is total BS. theres no way that a kid who has take the SAT II writing, bio, and chem are automatically a better candidate for Brown than me or anyone else who hasnt taken them. it just seems ludacris to me.</p>
<p>Although I agree with you, you could have taken care of this months ago (unless their policy has just recently changed). I'm assuming there are other colleges you are looking at and that's good, but if you really want Brown you can apply later (or if you wanted it enough you could have checked to see their requirements in the fall). </p>
<p>Some colleges make good use of their standerdized test data. Colleges which didn't use to require the writing test for example say that they won't care too much about that section this time as they don't know what the score means and the patterns that are found with success in college. Brown, however, has required the SAT's for a while and know what a 550 650 750 800 mean and their worth. It may even be essential to their admission (I don't know anything about Brown though). It varies a lot from school to school. NYU for example doesn't even want you to take the SAT if you hadn't taken it in HS. </p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Actually, it's not too late to take the SAT II's if you really wanto to go to Brown. You can take it in any of the subjects you want so it will play to your strengths. I hear what you're saying though... I am limited as well cuz I decided I don't want to re-take my SAT.</p>
<p>you can just take the ACT instead</p>
