<p>more true words have never been spoken</p>

4

<p>i don’t mean to be a downer but don’t you need 3 Sat II’s for Gtown? Isn’t it required?</p>

5

<p>^ I think it is recommended but not required.</p>

6

<p>not required or even necessary for ER</p>

7

<p>the 3 sat 2s are required for reg decision but recommended for early action.
i think your passion for debate and other extracurriculars will help balance the negative from your low sat scores. also, the difficulty of your course load is impressive and shows your will to challenge yourself. i think your chances are pretty good.</p>

<p>Actually, SAT II’s are not technically required at all for even RD. Just heavily recommended. And students being admitted RD with no SAT IIs is VERY, VERY rare. They’re a little more forgiving about not having done SAT IIs for EA, however it is not easy to get in EA with none. One is better than none, two is better than one, and three is better than two. Clearly, your performance on each SAT II is crucial to how they consider them (i.e. two 800s is better than three 700s), but if you haven’t submitted SAT II’s at all, then you need to be one damn fine candidate to get accepted.</p>

<p>the website made it seem as if it is not a big deal at all if one does not submit them…
i took the SAT IIs, but i got scores in the mid 600s for all three, i figured i would be better of not sending them seeing they give me no advantage. Wouldn’t sending scores in the 600s hurt me at a school like georgetown?</p>

<p>Georgetown requests all SAT & Subject Test scores anyway.</p>
