<p>I think you have a better chance than the majority. It may be ignorant of me but u in.</p>

<p>700 for Math 1? I don’t know much about Math 1 but I know getting anything less than an 800 on Math 2 is very bad for Ivy Level Schools. You should consider retaking it, also where are the APs? Ec’s look very nice, with legacy you have a nice shot.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input. I’m about to take the Lit Subject Test, should I take Math II as well?</p>

<p>I’m not sure how you managed to get an 800 on SAT I math and only 700 on Math SAT II Math I… Just doesn’t make sense. a 2250 gives you a very good chance.</p>

<p>I have essentially the same test scores and I am also applying ED w/legacy. You have pretty good ECs, the volunteering helps. Depending on how your school weighs (i.e. how many APs, what AP scores?) you look like a good contender for admission. Very solid chance.</p>

<p>I would take math 2… math 1 seems very hard to do well in since the curve is so harsh</p>

9

<p>I thought that most schools don’t even accept Math I?</p>

10

<p>those schools you may be talking about just require a math & science subject test, so i believe it would be safe to assume wither math1 or math2 would fulfill that requirement.
but i agree with the others, math2 is the best way to go.</p>

<p>You have legacy, /you should be fine</p>

<p>Raging, that’s a bit of misinformation. I forget exactly what the number is, but I think only about 35% of legacies are accepted. It is a bump in admissions, but not a guaranteed acceptance.</p>
