<p>I hear everyone talking about taking Math II, which I didn't because I'm only in Int. Algebra. Is this bad? I don't know it sounds like a big deal for most colleges. Also, does anyone think that it won't matter if I got decent scores in other subjects: USH, Physics, and Bio.M(all 750's)?</p>
<p>a lot of colleges require it or really recommend it (aka require it)</p>
<p>^ Only if you're going into a science field. I've only seen certain colleges of universities require or highly recommend taking it (except MIT/Caltech.) In fact, you're still fine with the UC's.</p>
<p>I actually have never seen a school require which math but I have heard that if you are planning to study engineering II is more appropriate. Sorry Atrophic while you were right about Caltech (never looked at that school before) but wrong about MIT (both kids are/were applying to MIT and I was therefore familiar). Advice to buffettime, while admission may not require II there are a number that require a math. Go do some admissions research for the schools in which you are interested and see what is expected. You don't want to find out that you are eliminating schools simply because you are missing one test. The two schools my kids have run into that required math (but either I or II) are MIT and Tufts (as engineering or science applicant).</p>
<p>From MIT site:</p>
<p>The content of your math courses should determine whether you take the Level 1 or the Level 2 Math test and when. (The two tests are weighed equally in the admissions decision.) Before you choose the dates for any of your tests, particularly the math test, be sure to get advice from your guidance counselor and your teachers.</p>
<p>Caltech:</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests: Mathematics Level 2 and one of the following Subject Tests: Biology (Ecological), Biology (Molecular), Chemistry, or Physics</p>
