<p>I just did not have time to take SATII tests.</p>

<p>So I had very limited college choices.</p>

<p>Yet, SAT2 scores for few colleges are just recommended or optional.</p>

<p>If i did not send my SAT2 scores to universities where SAT2 scores are recommneded, will it affect my application significantly?</p>

<p>Chance me please if you can.</p>

<p>I have 2220(superscore) for SAT1 -Math 780 Writing 750 Critical Reading 690</p>

<p>and 3.9 GPA(unweighted). </p>

<p>My school does not have any AP, but I take most rigorous courses.</p>

<p>I do many extracurricular activities such as</p>

<p>9th,10th,11th,12th Grade(s) Youth Choir of FBT (Group Leader 11th and 12th)
9th Grade(s) JV Football

<p>Don’t worry about SATII tests. Many of the people I know never took SATII exams or did not submit them to Wash U. Granted, this was three years ago, and Wash U may have changed what they look for in applications. I doubt that not having SATII scores will affect your chances, though.</p>

<p>Based on your stats, I would say you have a good chance of getting in. You have tons of ECs, and your SAT scores are competitive.</p>

<p>My son is currently a freshman at Wash U and did not submit his SATII scores at all. His SATI composite score was 2220, exactly the same as yours. He did not take the ACT either.</p>

<p>since they weren’t required, it wouldn’t change your app a lot. Personally, I think the SAT II is the college board’s way to make some extra money, I mean why bother making you take another test that’s pretty much the same as AP? A lot of my teachers in the past also agreed with me, and maybe the washu admissions office also concurs</p>

<p>Well yes, but eliminating the SAT II requirement also has the benefit of attracting more applications than anything else.</p>

<p>Not having any SAT II will not be penalized since they do not have it as a requirement. It’s actually better not to send SAT IIs at all than having a few sent that are mediocre.</p>
