<p>Are SAT IIs and AP Exams considered?</p>
<p>variance, I don't think so. I think they're just for placement.</p>
<p>Princetonreview.com says "Considered if submitted" for SAT IIs..</p>
<p>I emailed UNC about that misunderstanding so I should know an answer soon!</p>
<p>Haha, I remember the 1st time (a few weeks ago) I sent an e-mail to UNC, they replied with a generic FAQ. I was about to chase down the mail(wo)man and tear my admission acceptance to shreds. But then I calmed down and found a different e-mail adress.</p>
<p>yes, they have the most horrible customer support..
NC State is way nicer with their support!!</p>
<p>Hahaha, never thought of myself as a "customer." But with the ridiculous tuition inflation, I can definitely see the metaphorical "business" of higher education. At least UNC is pretty fair with its prices, even out-of-state.</p>
<p>i always thought the offices at unc were very friendly</p>
<p>the trick is to make sure you call the right one, don't email (remember they probably get a lot of emails)
o and don't compare anything of UNC to NC state, if they had what appeared to be nice customer support thats just because they desperatly want you to go there and spend your money there, i'd like to think that state sees their students as cattle (get it ;) </p>
<p>o and from my understanding UNC looks at SAT II scores only if u submit them, they look good and can make up for other things that might be lacking, but in no way will they hurt you if you don't submit them</p>
<p>Well, if you've taken them, you have to submit them. They come on your SAT I score report, and there's no way to take them off unless you cancel your scores (done before you even find out what you made).</p>
