<p>I sent in all 3 scores for the places I’m applying early (UMD, UVA, WPI, Purdue) and I will send take 2 and 3 for the others. My only worry is that even though I scored a 700 on math, they will think lesser of it because of my two lower scores. I do have the 700 Math II to back it up. I don’t know what happened on take 1 and 2… I’m a good math student. I’m just glad I finally broke 700s in math.</p>
