<p>Does anyone know definitely whether Princeton requires 2 or 3 SATII scores? I've read various pieces of literature from Princeton and Collegeboard that indicate differently. Some say they require at least 2, some say they require at least 3.</p>
<p>Can anyone verify which it is? Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Where did you find anything from Princeton indicating three SAT II exams? It’s two for *every school in the nation **except for Georgetown, which requires three.</p>
<p>*That is the maximum amount of required exams.</p>

<p>^^I’m aware of that. However, their current website clearly states that only 2 are required.</p>
<p>ksarmand,</p>
<p>Some Web sites still list three as the requirement:</p>

<p>^I would not even think about considering the first website if it contradicted directly with the school’s. The second is similarly questionable.</p>
<p>OP, in your college search, always check and (usually) trust the university’s website, not outside sources, when it comes to required information and exams.</p>

<p>Yes, this is good advice.</p>
<p>You might have more luck with this on the Princeton forum, but if I were you (and I couldn’t find a definite answer on their web site or other published materials) I’d call Princeton and ask an admissions officer–they’re actually very friendly.</p>
<p>The sites silverturtle pointed out are among the many; however, the Princeton site is also misleading.</p>

<p>The bottom chart outlines the middle 50% of SATII scores, stating that the numbers are based on the top 3 scores of each student, which I found hard to believe if students were only required to submit 2 scores each.</p>

<p>What I meant was that you seemed to not realize that the issue had been settled in the first response in this thread.</p>
<p>Are you mad at me? :p</p>
<p>The Internet can hold on to outdated and possibly incorrect information for a long time, including even the web site of the school in question. ksarmand’s advice is good: contact the source if you are unsure.</p>
