SAT II Early Decision

<p>Hi, I'm looking into Dartmouth for early decision.
It says that SAT II's aren't required for the ED app, so if I don't send them will I be at a huge disadvantage or does that just mean that Dartmouth pays little attention to it (close to nothing)?</p>

<p>Don’t be lazy. Take the SAT II’s.</p>

<p>I was done with all my SAT’s the June of my Junior year. I think that’s the best way to be, because you gotta worry about apps later.</p>

<p>I think what it says is that it’s not required when you send in your application, but you have to take two of them by January or something.</p>

<p>would this be okay to do or is it frowned upon?</p>

4

<p>Are you sure the SATIIS aren’t required? I’m pretty sure they are UNLESS you are submitting ACT with writing… Idk though. I’d call Admissions.</p>

</p>

<p>It’s okay to do, but I personally see no advantage. Either you’ll be taking an SAT for a class that you took over half a year ago, or you’ll be taking an SAT for a class that you only had for four months.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they’re required, but you can send them in later.</p>

<p>based on your other posts (gpa), I would NOT recommend ED anywhere. You will need to show a strong first semester senior year.</p>

<p>I didn’t have to send Dartmouth my midyear report.</p>

<p>While you do not have to send them with your ED application, SAT IIs **are **still required to send them. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Keep in mind the ED pool is very competitive (probably more considering the fact that there are a lot of hooked applicants- Athletes, developmental admits, legacies) in the ED pool. I think that you should take any advantage you have in giving the school a full picture of you (if it means submitting the SAT IIs when you apply then do so).</p>

<p>Since score choice is no longer an option any SAT II test you have taken, those scores are going to be automatically sent when you send your SAT I scores.</p>

<p>bluebayou:
I understand that ED is very competitive, but many kids in my high school with a weak GPA (3.3 UW and slightly below), with no involvement in extracurriculars (because of school’s context) have been accepted to Dartmouth. The Dartmouth alumni at my school do encourage that I apply ED also. Thanks for the suggestion though.</p>
