those "strongly recommended" SAT II scores

<p>I have a 33 ACT, but I'm sure my SAT subjects tests will be low (for a school like NU). I took them in november, and I'm awaiting my scores... I'm guessing only lit will be above 700 (750 ish), and then math 2 and bio will be 600-700.</p>

<p>also, they will see my SAT I scores with the report (2080 and 2060), and I didn't manage to break 1400/1600 on either. superscored I have a 2150, but I guess NU doesn't do that. the breakdown is (640M, 680CR, 760 W) and (710M, 660CR, 690W). </p>

<p>however, I have had all A's throughout high school (ranging from A- to A+)</p>

<p>my question: should I just send my ACT alone and hope that my transcript paired with my ACT does enough for showing I can handle tough courses? or, should I send SAT scores that will be worse than a lot of the kids I'm competing against?</p>

<p>any parents/students have any experience that points in either direction?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>No experience, but I have the same ACT score as you, and I am not sending subject tests.</p>

<p>Yea, i wouldn't send in the SAT2s</p>

<p>I thought that if you send the SATs, they automatically send the SAT Subject Test scores as well. If that's the case, then you just wouldn't send any SAT scores at all, and go with the fine ACT 33, which I think makes perfectly good sense.</p>
