<p>I didn't know Columbia University and NYU required you to take SAT II subject tests until yesterday, and now I'm going crazy because both of their regular application deadlines are before the sat II testing date! (NYU- Jan 15, Columbia Jan 1, SAT II, Jan 26). Would it be possible if I sent out my applications before the deadline take the SAT II's and mail them in afterwards? Or would it be too late? Would they take them into account at all? </p>
<p>Can't you try to do standby for the Dec. 1 date? Have you tried to do late registration for the Dec 1 date--I know it is past the listed date, but have you called them anyway?</p>
<p>applying to columbia without SAT 2's is pretty much a sure rejection. if you haven't taken any sat 2's yet then maybe you shouldn't be aiming so high.</p>
<p>Check the schools' websites. Often they accept scores from tests in January, even though their app deadlines are earlier than that. You may be fine taking tests then.</p>
