Do they consider just 2/3 SAT2's or all?

<p>I would greatly appreciate opinions on this matter… do colleges which specify that only 2/3 sat2’s are required just pick the best 2/3 scores in evaluating the applicant? assuming Person A scored 750Math1, 690Math2, 730Physics, 640Chem, etc, the adcom would just pick 750/730 and evaluate the applicant solely based on the numeric quantity, without considering the subject matter? I just want to clarify this issue: so they just seek out the best 2/3 figures and that’s that? Second, do they also consider also breadth? in the sense that, if someone has a wide range of SAT2 scores, do they boost an application, especially to those schools which require just 2/3? or they still just go ahead and pick the 2/3 best?</p>

<p>and finally, if someone has a better writing score from the SAT2 than from the New SAT, which would they consider?</p>

<p>thanks all.</p>

<p>If you took Sat 2 writing back when it was offered and the new sat, I think they would consider the better score. Last name i checked the new sat writing and sat2 writng are the same, so its like taking the sats twice, they consider the btter score.</p>
