<p>Make sure you have taken at least 2 SATII tests; you’ll need them to be able to apply to Rice, and I think some other strong academic schools. My son’s academically-oriented school had the kids take them as a matter of course. My daughter’s music school did not. Many SATIIs are not offered every test time. You should look into this NOW if you still need to take them. My D was too late for Rice. Would be a shame if this happened to you or anyone else…</p>
