Is a 790 Math 2 SAT Subject Test score too low for MIT/Caltech/Stanford/Harvard? Would it be better to retake it? I know this question might sound really stupid, but I’ve heard that there is a big difference between a 790 and 800 in terms of admission standards, although it’s only a difference of 10 points. Some of my friends also said that if you get an 800 on a science subject test, this makes up for a non-800 math score. Doesn’t seem true, but, if it is, I got a 780 on the Physics Subject Test…
Further info: I’m a high school junior (‘22) considering applying to MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Harvard, Tufts, and BU. (Also applying to RSI next year.)
