<p>As a midwest person, I never really paid any attention to the SAT, since I figured all I would need to take was the ACT for staying in the midwest. However, in applying ED I realized that NU “recommends” three SAT II subject tests, something I had never heard of up until a few weeks ago. How much (if at all) would not giving SAT II’s hurt my application to SESP? Is it one of those things that “can only help you, not hurt you?” I realize at this point there’s nothing I can do, but it’s a frustrating thing.</p>
<p>Of course having strong SAT 2s would help you, but if you don’t have them, don’t fret over it. I’ve heard of quite a number of people getting in without any.</p>
<p>Contact someone at SESP. I believe that there were only 39 new SESP students last year. It is one of the best kept secrets in higher education. Very close advising & lots of personal attention.</p>
<p>yeah it can only help you as long as the sat ii’s are strong.
the more admissions officers can learn about you, whether it be average or really good, the better it is for your chance. they want to learn as much about you as possible (academically and personally).</p>
<p>as a side note to the 3 SAT II deal, how would I be considered if I had 770 Math 2, 710 Chemistry, 760 Math 1 (took a year and a half before math 2 after completing Alg2), and 670 french.<br>
Would they just add up my 3 highest and say “he’s a 2240/2400 SAT II kid”, would they not consider the math level 1 because I took math level 2, or what?</p>
<p>anybody know about consideration of both math I and math II?</p>
