SATII Policy

<p>I have only taken 2 SAT II's and have no plans to take anymore tests. I realize that Georgetown requests 3 SATII's. However, when I looked on the Collegeboard website, it says that Gerogetown requires SAT/ACT, but only recommends SATII's. Finally, I emailed the admissions office and was told that 3 SATII's were "strongly recommended". I am thinking of applying with just the SAT, ACT, and 2 SATII's, but was wondering if anyone has heard of anyone applying without all 3 SATII's and whether you think my applying without them is pointless. Thanks!</p>

<p>Well, I have never heard of anyone getting in with 2 Sat IIs. I've always been told that 3 are required. How did you do on the two that you have always taken? What are your other stats as a candidate? If those are really strong, then maybe you don't need the third Sat II.</p>

<p>I know my credentials are not outstanding. Georgetown is a definite reach for me:</p>

<p>SAT: 2110
ACT: 32
Lit SAT II:730
US Hist. SAT II: 730
GPA: 3.981 (weighted- recognized as a very difficult/competitive public school)</p>

AP English Lit (5)
AP German (5)
AP Environmental (4)
AP Government/Politics (Sr. year)
AP English Lang (Sr. year)
AP Psychology (Sr. year)</p>

Those are most of my credentials. I also some jobs, some other minor EC's, and summer activities (including leadership positions), but that provides a pretty good picture of me. As you can tell, I am mostly interested in government and language.</p>

<p>they said if you only submit 2 SAT II's make sure you submit your AP scores in a different subject then the 2 SAT IIs, so you should be fine</p>

<p>Are we SUPPOSED to report out AP scores? I heard that we should do that only after we were accepted. Would it be too late to report them now?</p>

<p>Oh, okay, thanks. Where did you hear that, hec2008?</p>

<p>My daughter's school puts the AP scores on the transcripts.</p>

Your stats look good - did your guidance counsellor tell you Georgetown was a definite reach? It's hard to get into but you look like a fit to me. If I were in the admissions office, I'd accept you for sure. :-) We went to a session where the Georgetown admissions office said 3 SAT II's were not an absolute requirement.

<p>I pretty sure I have been to every Georgetown anything in my area and to the school itself :). That was the admission officers answer to someone's question and one of receptions I went to.
I don't think it is too late but you didn't have to send them, at least self-report them though. My AP scores are way better than my other scores so i sent the offcial becuase I knew it would help substantiate my GPA, which too is much better than my other scores.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the answers. They were really very helpful- I think I will apply.</p>

<p>MM2k- Thanks for the feedback. I didn't really talk to my GC about Georgetown, but the main reasons I think it is a reach for me are my GPA and SAT. I realize that a 2110 is not that bad, but I did really well in both CR and WR, and not so well in Math and GU doesn't count the WR.</p>
