Good schools that don't require the SAT II's?

<p>It's senior year so I don't really have time to take them. I'm retaking the SAT I this fall instead. What would be a good match school for me? </p>

<p>Some basic stats:
Rank: ~30/250
3.77 GPA
SAT I Score: 680 M, 570 V, 530 W</p>

<p>Most schools below the top 50 or so do not require SAT IIs. Your best bet is to look at some schools based on other criteria (delete all the Ivies) and see what they require.</p>

<p>Don't have time? What are you thinking? You're eliminating most of the best colleges in the Country by not taking them. If you can get your SATI cr to 650, you'd have a shot at some good schools.</p>

<p>So any school where the SAT average is below a 650 or so is a 'bad' school? Idiot.</p>

<p>It is not practicable to give a list of all good schools that do not require II's. The truth is only a minority require them. Here is a list of those colleges that require or recommend II's: <a href="http://www.compassprep.com/admissions_req_subjects.aspx%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.compassprep.com/admissions_req_subjects.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Though you should check to verify in each particular case, you can assume schools not on that list do not require II's.</p>

<p>Don't have time to help open doors to some great colleges? Wonder where your priorities are. Anyways, you can take the ACT and forget about SATs all together. Most schools will take ACT instead of SAT IIs so you won't have to worry about them. Unless of course you "don't have time".</p>

<p>Stanford only 'very strongly advises you' to take SAT2s but really I would advise you to take them (and increase your SAT while your at it). Honestly though with a 1780 SAT and a 3.77 GPA you don't have much chance of getting in there...</p>

<p>Notre Dame</p>

<p>Stanford
Northwestern
Chicago
Berkeley (not 100% sure)
Michigan
Wisconsin
Illinois - Urbana Champaigne</p>

<p>Stanford and Northwestern both "recommend" them which many construe as you should submit SAT II's. Berkeley and all UC's require 2. UChicago neither requires nor recommends them but will consider them if submitted. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and all Big Ten schools other than Northwestern ignore them even if submitted.</p>

<p>All of the UC's, including Berkeley, require two subject tests.</p>
