<p>Everything depends on the schools. My daughter’s safety was a large state school (not even our state) – all she needed was a transcript (no grades BTW) and a minimum ACT score. She got into three more selective schools also without submitting SAT II scores.</p>
<p>The New York situation is ridiculous. What happens when kids fail the tests but are in public school? Do kids in private schools have to take the same tests?</p>
