Third SAT II?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I'll be applying to Harvard for Regular Decisions.</p>

<p>Currently, my test scores stand at</p>

<p>SAT II:
Physics - 800
Mathematics II - 800
World History - 750</p>

<p>By the time I realized that Harvard required three SAT subject tests, it was too late to register for the November SATs, and I have an important debate tournament on the date of the December ones. I'm thinking about taking the English Literature SAT II (fairly confident I can get 800) on stand-by, as it'll only be an hour or two of a Saturday; should I? Or at this point, does it not really matter?</p>

<p>You already have 3 SAT II"s. So why would you take another one? I don’t understand…</p>

<p>If you do want to, you can take the January one. Harvard will still take SAT scores taken by applicants in January.</p>

<p>Your USH score is fine. But if you really think you can pull off an 800 in Lit, kudos to you and go for it.</p>

<p>NO reason to have to; Scores are fine.
Can go standby, my D has done ACT standby, SAT I standby, and SAT IIs standby.
Can also do January.
Lots of available options.</p>

<p>Spend the time on your essays. Don’t worry about any more SAT IIs. If your current scores will not get you in then an 800 on a third SAT will not either. It means that there was some other reason that they chose not to admit you. Good luck.</p>

<p>Agree with smoda. 800 on a third SAT will not change your chances of admission.</p>
