how many sat ii's?

<p>hey guys, so yea, how many sat ii's are required?
someone told me three, and i decided not to apply cuz i only had 2 and didnt feel like taking another one. but then i heard it was 2 that was required and got very confused...
thanx!</p>

<p>okay, basically you want to take three if possible, but two is fine.</p>

<p>they don't require three, but highly recommend it.</p>

<p>...got it. much thanx</p>

<p>I thought 3 were required. On the Georgetown website, they say:
"All candidates, whether they submit scores from the SAT or ACT, should submit scores from 3 SAT II subject tests. The writing portion on the new SAT will not be substituted for an SAT II subject test score."</p>

<p>But you can always call them to find out</p>

<p>The website says "should" because they really want you to have three subject tests, and the most competitive applicants will have three. It is not, however, a <em>requirement</em> so not having three would not remove your application from consideration.</p>

<p>Hey, I know they want everyone to have three SAT II's, but which ones would be the best to compete with? Thanks</p>
