<p>My son was accepted to Carleton in 06 with no SAT IIs. My other son applied to a pretty wide variety of LACs this year and was accepted to most of these without SAT IIs. (We are very rural so our kids would have to travel at least 200 miles each way to find a testing location I don’t think the lack of SAT II’s kept him out of anywhere.) I would say take them if they are available to you. If you are really displeased with the results you don’t have to submit them.<br>
Something good to start thinking about and cultivating are the teachers who you will ask for reference letters. This is important for scholarship programs too. Think of those who know you well and who also take the time to write well. I’ve reviewed scholarship applications for several small foundations/organizations and it surprised me how the quality of those reference letters varied even when the teachers really liked a student.
Good luck!</p>
