Hey, so i just called up the admissions office a little while back and they told me that SATII aren't required, just requested for both EA and RD.

Can someone please englighten me on how many applicants have been accepted without these 3 SATIIs.

This is true. My admissions rep told me this in a meeting. SAT II's are not required, per se, but are extremely recommended. What she said was that students are RARELY admitted EA with none or one SAT II submitted, and that two or three is much better. As for RD, students are RARELY admitted unless they have three.

I was admitted last year EA without any SAT IIs (I hadn't taken them yet), but apparently I am the exception not the rule

^ What kind of stats did you have?

I find that policy for EA beyond annoying, if that's true. They are obviously representing information falsely on their website, then, because it says "If you are a senior and have not yet taken three SAT Subject Tests you may still apply Early Action and your application will receive full consideration. We do recommend that you register for these exams in the event that your application is deferred to Regular Decision." The website implies that they only look at scores and grades from junior year, and that subject tests are not required at all for EA. It seems like even if you took the subject tests in October (earliest possible date in the fall), they don't promise to consider them. Are there really that many people that took 3 subject tests in junior year? I was more concerned with the regular SAT. I took one subject test last year, and that was uncommon in my school.

This just makes me really mad because I was scheduled to take Chem and Math II in October, but at the last minute I realized I was not prepared and switched my date to December. Georgetown is my #1 but I thought it wouldn't be a problem because of what the website says.

DD was admitted last year with one EA; she took the other two, but the results were not in before acceptance.

If you call up admissions and ask whether three SAT IIs are really needed, will they be up front with you?

Students at our school (private Catholic) were advised to take one SATII freshman year and another sophomore year, then two or three in the junior year to get the best shot of having three good scores in time.
