SAT II's help

<p>Ok.... I know that ND doesnt require SAT II's but I've heard that it is like an unwritten rule to take them....
I am awful at standard testing....and I'd really like to stay away from them</p>

<p>I have already looked at all of the colleges I am considering and none of them require SAT IIs........but my GC strongly recommends them.......</p>

<p>Im stuck between a rock and a hard place...... I should take them..but I have a feeling that If I take them I will do poorly and then that would be bad.....</p>

<p>I know I talked about this a few threads ago...but I have a different question</p>

<p>Basically do the colleges look down aupon someone who didnt take them.....Even tho they dont require them...will they think lesser of the applicant????</p>

<p>Also I'm taking the ACT as well..... So I will have the ACT and the SAT ......</p>

<p>So any thoughts would be great thanks...</p>

<p>if you do take them and score very poorly you can always just not send them... make sure u take them during may right in the ap testing time (i took physics and us and din take them till june and i had to re-study when i was all studied up for the ap exams in may)... i asked the admissions at nd and they said they would look at them but they r not at all necessary</p>

<p>Actually, if you take them, and you take the SAT, you have to send them if you send the SAT.</p>

<p>right... thats wut Im worried about</p>

<p>that's what i'm debating... i got a 31 on my act, my II's r all lower 700s and my SAT is like somethin ****ty like 1850 or somethin and idk if should send my II's... i called admissions and they said they would look only at the act and disregard the SAT-- idk how true that is... sooo the questions is...</p>

<p>will my II's help me more than my I's could possibly hurt me (even though admissions claims they won't hurt me "at all") ... ???</p>

<p>can u send only ACt and sat IIs even if u took the sat I</p>

<p>nope... if send the SAT II's the I's will be on there automatically</p>
