<p>I took NYU over WashU, it is much better at econ. and math, my areas of study. The point is that many schools don’t require the SAT II’s, but most people who got in took them. Honestly, who with a 1350 or 1400 SAT I didn’t take do well on the SAT II’s or completely skipped them? Stop being ■■■■■■■■, my friends weren’t lying, since they applied and got into other schools besides NYU that did require the SAT II. Maybe the world is a lie to you. </p>
<p>Your link supports my argument, California is ranked 43 out of 50-pretty close to the deep south and damn near the bottom, it was beaten by Tenn, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Also, the illegals in California were not counted, that would even lower CA’s already dismal ranking. QED.</p>
