SAT II necessary?

<p>So, I will major in engineering
and I read that I am strongly encourage to take the SAT II but I got a really low score and I'm scared that they will overlook it? or something </p>

<p>should I send my score if I only got
M2=520
CH=580</p>

<p>and is it only the UC's who recommend to take it or other (top) schools too?</p>

<p>Even though most colleges don’t require it, the SAT 2’s are still important. If it’s too late to retake it I would still send those scores even if the college doesn’t require them because it shows that you went out of your way to take it.</p>

<p>The very top schools usually do recommend taking them at the bare minimum. I would look at the admission policies if I were you.</p>
