<p>I know that hopkins has the new policy of recommends but doesn't require SAT IIs, but i have heard of a lot of schools that say that and actually mean "require". </p>
<p>I don't have time to take the SAT IIs before the ED deadline.
What should I do?
Am I basically weeded out of the application pool? Will my application scream <em>SLACKER</em>?</p>
<p>help.
thanks.</p>
<p>First, Hopkins requires the SAT I or ACT I. They recommend three SAT IIs. Recommend does not mean require. You will not be at a disadvantage if you do not submit SAT II scores. </p>
<p>Second, why can't you take SAT IIs before the ED deadline? You are able to take SAT II exams in November and have those scores submitted in time for ED review. </p>

<p>yeah, i just called them and they said I can do that. But apart from that, Standardized testing is NOT my strong point....but i'm going to do it anyway, thanks for the help.</p>
<p>If not required, what on earth is the reason for taking those laborous tests?</p>
<p>Surely, SAT II's must give an edge to that applicant?</p>
