SAT II scores?

<p>Hi, I was wondering...are SAT II scores considered for admission or just placement for Hopkins? Can low scores hurt you and lower your chance for admission? Just wondering. Thanks.</p>

<p>Since they require 3 SAT IIs (Writing and 2 others, one of which must be Math IIC for the engineering school,) I would guess that they consider them- otherwise, you could just take them spring of senior year. However, Hopkins is known for the attention it pays to the whole applicant, not just the numbers. Good luck!</p>

<p>to me, they probably doesnt matter THAT much since you can replace them with the ACT, which is nothing like the SAT ii</p>

<p>Ah...thanks. Silver, when you say that Hopkins pays attention to the whole applicant, do you mean they put a lot of weight on the essays, talent/ablities, etc and tend to not weigh GPA/SAT's as much as other schools?</p>

<p>From what I've heard, and my personal experience, yeah. If you demonstrate a passion for something, that will definitely help.</p>

<p>IIC is strongly recommended for the engineers. I didn't take IIC. Still got in.</p>
