<p>Hey CC'ers. I'm applying RD to Georgetown and have everything sent in so far besides my SAT scores. The problem is, I only ever took 2 subject tests and there is only one test date. It just so happens that during the test date, I will actually be out of the country in Thailand and then to Laos to cover a series of very interesting articles on a medical team from my town going over there. I work for my town's newspaper as their youngest intern, and the organization was so impressed with my work they are going to pay my way and already made arrangements.</p>
<p>Since I won't be able to meet the 3 subject tests which are "strongly recommended," should I just leave it be or send in a handwritten letter explaining the deficiency?</p>
