<p>I read that USC does not require SAT II's. I am curious what is the purpose of turning SAT II scores in if they are not required. Does it give an edge to those who have not taken them?</p>
<p>it gives an edge to those who are applying for scholarships.</p>
<p>yeah...if you did well. i ****ed mine over; took them ages after i took the actual classes and didn't study a bit. i'm actually kinda dissapointed i took them. hopefully they won't hurt me if everything else is in good shape...</p>

<p>To the contrary, I am under the impression that it gives an edge to those who have taken them (and done well) because it gives the adcoms one more thing to add to your application.</p>
<p>A lot of times when colleges say it's "optional" they might as well say it's recommended.</p>
