Sat 2's--what if only 2?

<p>I, silly girl that I am, thought somehow that only 2 subject tests were required and it turns out that there are 3. </p>

<p>Should I even bother applying with only the 2?</p>

<p>I think you should apply with 2. My d was accepted EA with only her ACT so why not go for it if everything else is strong.</p>

<p>Yeah, technically the 3 subject tests are just "strongly recommended" not required, so if everything else is strong, then I'd go for it.</p>

<p>I would submit in 3. If you don't have 3.. take an extra one through stand-by.
They request 3 SAT IIs.
It was only okay to not submit subject scores through EA, but you need to through RD..</p>

<p>I don't know, I feel like if you send in only 2, they'll see it as carelessness. Why give them a reason to doubt you?</p>

<p>the whole argument about "strongly recommended" versus "required" comes down to this: there is no required SAT score to get into MIT but good luck getting in with a 1500/2400.</p>

<p>If you overlooked that point, it seems that GTown is only one out of many for you. Save the cash imo. You're wasting money at this point.</p>

<p>Oh no no, Georgetown was one of my first picks. It's just that it is the only college that I came across and was interested in that required 3 tests, so I must have just clumped them all together and assumed it was a universal 2. I have taken a ton of AP tests, so if the colleges hadn't required it, I honestly wouldn't have wasted the money taking subject tests that I have already received 5's in for their AP subject equivalents. </p>

<p>I've only actually applied to 3 "top" colleges, and two safety schools. I love G-town, and even if I don't apply there for undergrad, I fully intend to apply to the law school for its strength in international affairs. </p>

<p>So, with a great essay, tons of APs (and great scores in them), decent SATs (2030), committed extracurriculars and work experience, should I apply anyway and just provide a letter with my recs and transcript explaining my goof and how I would still really like to attend?</p>

<p>The fact of the matter is this: You application will still be considered, there have been cases of kids getting accepted with only 2, but you will be at a disadvantage and it will definitely be counted against you.</p>

<p>If you're still committed, then I'd say apply</p>
