<p>I'm not posting all my stats, but it would help to know that I'm looking at ivies/just-below ivies (Duke, JHU, UVA, etc.) and I am 1/280 in the #1 high school in WV. My SAT's roll as follows: 710M, 750CR, and 800W. A 2260 isn't bad, but I'm uncertain of the math score....I'm obviously not going to stand much of a chance.</p>
<p>Cut to the chase: I don't want to take the SAT again. Hypothetically, if I could pull of a 750+ on Math I and Math II on the SAT Subject Tests (combined with a 5 in Calc A/B and a 33 on the ACT that I just got a couple weeks ago), would that substitute well/at-all for the lack-luster math score or should I just go for the whole thing all over again?</p>
<p>Brutal honesty is encouraged.</p>
<p>I’ve heard from my Pre-calc teacher that a good sat II score for Math 2 can replace a decent score in the SATs, and I stand by his judgment. However, I am not 100% sure of this. One thing I do know is that you don’t need to take Math I and II. If you are going to take one of them, take Math II, since you’ve clearly already learned pre-calc. </p>
<p>By the way, SAT’s aren’t everything. Grades matter too, and you seem to have that covered. Good luck! Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I agree. Just take Math II. Math I has a harsher curve and is less well-regarded by those top colleges.</p>
<p>Brutal honesty: at many schools below the top, SAT II scores are not even considered, and SATs are very important (if you’re looking for merit aid or something). However, at Ivies a great Math II score should substitute. So you’re in good shape. </p>
<p>Edit: I asked what was your Math ACT but I assume that’s what you meant by 33. I guess send that or not depending on the rest of it…</p>
<p>Much love my man. Thanks for the feedback and the advice.</p>
<p>2260 is good enough for many of those schools, focus on your other stuff</p>
