<p>Hi, I want to ask you if the admission officers like someone with more than 3 SATIIs.
I searched on the forum, and notice that 6 x 800 SATIIs isn't too impressive to admission officers.
Is that true ?</p>
<p>I took 3 SAT IIs, and intend to take more. Do you guys think I should ?</p>
<p>Do they think that I'm bookworm if I take more SAT IIs ?
Of course, I would not become bookworm ... :))</p>
<p>In my opinion, how well you do on whichever SAT IIs you take is more important than how many you take. I think you should take as many SAT IIs as you want, as long as you feel like you'll get good scores on them.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm talking about 6 x 800s as the above post.</p>
<p>Do you think that someone with 5 or 6 x 800s will have an advantage over someone with 3 x 800s, when the requirement is only 3 x 800s ?</p>
<p>I doubt it. Generally, a clerical person from the admissions staff creates a "summary sheet" with GPA, recalculated GPA (if they have one), superscored SAT I (or highest SAT I if they don't superscore), required number of SAT IIs (listing the highest 2 or 3 scores), ACT scores, and any other appropriate statistics for the student. The admissions officer may not even see the other scores.</p>
<p>Why would an admissions counselor be impressed with someone who neglects the rest of their lives to study for unnecessary tests, and wastes time and money taking them?</p>
<p>You're better off spending time on other aspects of your life, like your EC's.</p>
<p>Oh is that true ? I heard that admission officers receive a full report of all SAT you took before ? Is that true, or they will read only the number ?</p>
<p>Is That True ?</p>
<p>The school does receive the report of all your scores. They can consider them if they wish. However, it is not likely that they will do so.</p>
<p>And, speaking as an adult, it is more likely as I noted above that if they do consider all test scores, they'll wonder about why a kid would spend all that time and effort "overtesting" when he or she could be doing other things.</p>
<p>Thank you Chedva. Don't worry, I won't become bookish ... :D :D</p>
<p>I want to test more because as an international student, I will benefit very much from the tests, especially the History test and Biology test. I like these subjects</p>
<p>Thanks anyway</p>
