<p>Hi!
I was wondering if the sat II's are <em>absolutely</em> necessary for homeschooled students applying to top colleges. I know many schools recommend that homeschoolers take at least two subject tests in order to have an objective evaluation of their academic ability (wow, sorry -- that was a mouthful). However, by the time I graduate, I will have almost 50 credits in community college classes (challenging classes like statistics/chemistry/humanities) from dual enrollment, and I have currently maintained a 4.0 GPA. Doesn't that kind of "show" that I'm fairly capable?
My plan was to take two subject tests this month and just send them in if my scores were over a 700, and if not, I wasn't going to worry about it. (My ACT score is a 33.)
Any input is appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>Many “top colleges” strongly recommend you submit at least two subject tests. Georgetown suggests three. You will need these tests to bolster your application.</p>
<p>For schools that don’t recommend, your plan to send only scores over 700 seems viable.</p>
<p>There is a thread about “Recommended=need?” subject tests-I forgot where it was,
but when the school says recommended, it’s just saying you better do it.</p>
<p>Thanks for you advice!
I’ll try to find that thread.</p>
