<p>If I were to apply to a college that recommends that you send at least one SAT II, how much would not sending any SAT II scores hurt my admission chances? The nearest place that I can take the SAT is 45 minutes to an hour away, and even that location doesn’t offer the test on each of the test dates. If I were to send AP exam scores, could that make up for a lake of SAT II scores?</p>
<p>When a college recommends but does not require SAT IIs, you will be considered for admission without them. How much that can actually hurt is an unknown but you need to consider the fact that the majority who will apply, to whom you will be compared, will likely submit them, and many of those are going to have an AP record just like yours. Finally consider that “45 minutes to an hour” away is the average daily commute of persons who work in large cities, so most who read your post are not going to consider that to be a major reason against taking the tests.</p>
