<p>MIT wants a science SAT subject test, of which i never took nor am i planning to. That's because i didn't take a science class junior year (currently a rising senior) and i forgot everything that i've learned in physics ( really bad at it too)/chemistry/biology. I'll be taking biology AP senior year.</p>
<p>If i'm interested in having something businessy as my major, will college admins shut me down still if i get like a 600 SAT science subject? I mean, i guess i can self-study and take the november SATs...but i dont know. i'm not rerally good at science. and even more, i only got a 730 on my math level 2 (totally shocked...thinking of retaking it).</p>
<p>Your intended major has no impact on admissions -- it's not any easier to get into MIT as a non-science/engineering major, and the standards are the same for all applicants regardless of their intended major.</p>
<p>The 25th percentile for admitted students on the science SAT II subject test is 700. A 600 on the test wouldn't automatically put someone out of contention by itself, but suffice to say that not many people get in with 600s on a science SAT II each year.</p>
<p>This may seem overly harsh, but MIT does have general science requirements for all students. Humanities majors and management majors still have to pass the general requirements in order to graduate; the GIRs currently include two semesters of physics, two semesters of calculus, a semester of chemistry, a semester of biology, a lab class, and two restricted science electives.</p>
<p>thank you.
yea, i know mit weighs HEAVILY on science.
maybe this college is not right for me.</p>

MIT requires one science and one math SAT II score as part of your application. If you are not planning to take an SAT II science test, your application will not be complete and you will probably have zero percent chance of admission, so you might as well save the application fee. :)</p>
