<p>I actually had a question regarding the EA program. I was hoping to take the World History as my third SATII. However, I found out today that the test is administered only in December and June. Hence, do you guys think its possible to apply to EA with two SATII's and submit the Dec 2 World History SATII as soon as the results are out?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>no you can't because it is required that you have 3 SAT IIs.. it's similar to not having any essays or any recommendations</p>

<p>you have to take SAT II in october or november in a diff subject or apply RD</p>
