<p>What is the purpose of SAT IIs? I attend a small school and am a HS junior. I am a typical Ivy League applicant (2240 on 1st SAT, 4.0 UW GPA, rigorous courseload, varsity letters in 4 sports, many ec's/volunteer sctivities). My question is, do I need to take the SAT IIs? Are they considered necessary for Ivy applicants? If they are important, which 3-5 should I take? Any info would be appreciated</p>
<p>Take SAT II’s in whatever subjects you’re best at. Any individual college will require 3 SAT II’s at the most, but you can take more so you have more scores to choose from.</p>

<p>There are in fact only half a dozen colleges in the US that “require” 3 SAT IIs, over 95% want 2. If they only ask for 2 though, “accidentally” send a 3rd good score, it can’t hurt!</p>
