Compensating for Math SAT I

<p>Question:</p>

<p>In your opinion, can someone offset their 700+ Math SAT with the rest of their math background and scores?</p>

<p>For instance, a student taking Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations in their senior year (which is unprecedented at my high school) who after taking AB Calc self studied the BC content and got a 5 on the AB subscore and 4 on the BC score. </p>

<p>Also, an 800 on the Math II SAT Subject test.
And an 800 on the CR section if that helps compensate as well. </p>

<p>Some math extracurriculars include co-founding Math Club and introducing the AMC to my high school as well as acting as a teacher's assistant for this year's AP Calc class. </p>

<p>Would this background compensate for a non-perfect SAT I Math score?</p>

<p>With a 700+ Math score, is this sufficient math background and demonstrated proficiency to apply as a math or science major at a top university like Princeton?</p>

<p>Also, is it common knowledge among admissions that a 700-750 score can amount to missing between 3 to 4 questions? And, how do you think this would fare for a student who is white compared to one who is half hispanic? Does affirmative action play into this?</p>

<p>And, just as a disclaimer, I don't think this is a BAD score at all, just concerning when dealing with competitive admissions and when applying as a math major.</p>

<p>Thank you! And any feedback is appreciated greatly</p>

<p>I’m bumping after like five minutes. But seriously, bump.</p>

<p>I will give you puppies and cookies just respond!!!</p>

<p>Reply please i might burst into flames do you want my ashes and lack of punctuation on your collective consciousnesses no you dont so reply ahhh caps lockk</p>

<p>admissions know how many wrong a 700-750 score entails</p>

<p>I think it depends on how many times you took the math sat i, if you only took it one time maybe they would overlook it and think it was a fluke. But if you’ve taken it multiple times…who knows</p>

<p>I think the 800 on Math II should help, but it depends on how competitive the school is that you’re applying to.</p>

<p>Thanks so much! Do you think sub 750 scores maybe two or three times would invalidate my other math history? I should I apply under a different major?</p>

<p>I think an 800 in Math II surely would offset a math score (SATI) around a 680+.</p>

<p>Yeah. Math I is a test of not making stupid mistakes, not a test of actual math ability.</p>
