<p>What the heck? Has NYU always required the SAT II's? Last time I checked they only said that it was "highly recommended." Now its a requirement? When did they change this? Did they even change it or did I just not read carefully the first time I checked?</p>

<p>Arg....now I gotta start studying for the SAT II's.....what the heck</p>

<p>Regardless, in my book "highly recommended" is practically equivalent to "required." (If you're expecting to be admitted)</p>

<p>yeah, they changed it for next year.
i agree with goyoungha though, 'highly recommended' means 'if you don't take them, your chances at getting in just went waay down-but you still have a tiny chance!'.</p>

<p>Here is the link that shows the new requirement for SAT IIs.</p>

<p>I'm going to have to disagree that "highly recommended" is basically equal to "if you don't take them, your chances at getting in just went waay down-but you still have a tiny chance!" considering I didn't take any SATIIs, and I still got in with a nice merit scholarship along with the acceptance :P</p>
