<p>I see that they are “recommended.” Does that mean an applicant doesn’t stand a chance of acceptance if they opt not to take them, or are the SAT IIs simply used for placement purposes?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I was admitted into SIS and I believe i took 3 SAT IIs, but they werent very good so...</p>
<p>i think when they say "recommended" they may use them to determine admission decisions in candidates that might otherwise be seemingly identical...so used to give a bit of an edge. also, yes, for placement, along with AP tests.</p>
<p>My daughter was admitted and she took two SAT II exams.</p>
<p>I was admitted & did not take the SAT II's.</p>
<p>I was admitted to SIS. My SAT II's - </p>
<p>US History - 750
English - 680
French Language (without listening) - 650</p>
<p>I was admitted, and got a scholarship, and I've never taken an SAT of any kind in my life...</p>
