<p>So are they required or not? I heard many different sides to this. According to Collegeboard it is required, but I could've sworn that UVA said it is recommended to take them. Don't kill me.</p>
<p>Mr Sinister, seriously. You can find most everything you need to know about the application process on the UVA website, especially the FAQ section. <a href="http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/faq.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/faq.html</a> The UVA admissions/application blogs are also very helpful.</p>
<p>UVA strongly recommends that you take two SAT II Subject Tests of your choice.</p>
<p>Never Mind. Thanks.</p>
<p>My D's friend was admitted to UVA early decision. When my D asked her what she got on her SAT II, she answered "what's that?" She ended up taking them later in the Spring. But as you can see they were not a factor in her admission.</p>
<p>they're used for placement; however, if you're out of state, you had better be doing everything in your control to get in - not taking sat ii's out of laziness would probably be a bad decision. stop complaining about taking tests, it's an hour of your life, and might make a difference, so you should be worried about doing everything you can to get in, not how to best slack off and still get in.</p>
<p>Also would it be okay to take the SAT 2s AFTER you've got your admissions for placement? Also same thing about the SAT 1 cuz I know that you can get out of the writing reqs with 700+ in CR and/or writing. Any advice?</p>
<p>Just take the SAT I and SAT II's. It would it do more harm than help if you don't take the tests.</p>
