<p>hey i know a spanish speaking guy who got 800 on spanish and got accepted to many of ivys. isn’t the korean sat II created for koreans anyways? frankly, who else is gonna take it other than koreans? if there weren’t so many korean students applying the test would not need to be created. then why is it that most korean students freak out about taking the sat II korean?</p>
<p>it’s not like you fail your life when you dont get into harvard. there are millions of other colleges you can study in. i don’t think there is need to risk your life to the title of harvard. what is the point of life anyways? certainly not to study in harvard. if so, that is quite pitiful. there is so much more to do in life than prepping and getting into harvard. </p>
<p>i am also a korean. i don’t know if all of you who said yay or nay were koreans, but how likely is it that you all have taken the sat II korean? i think koreans should take advantage of it. at least, there is an example of a native speaker scoring 800 on his native language and getting accepted to ivys. </p>
<p>my point is that i think taking the sat II korean has its benefits. i think one should take it if he knows he will ace it rather than bombing a math or something else instead. if all of the tests were in the same scale, that they are all sat IIs, which will look better? the higher score of course. this is not regarding the student’s background, but i think that comes in later. it is quite natural for a native to be fluent in his own language, and adcoms have enough sense to know that.</p>
<p>i am applying for columbia and nyu. for sat IIs i will take literature and korean. see if i get accepted. we shall see.</p>
