<p>I've spoken with the coach, and she said she might tag my application, not that I think much weight is put on it here anyways.</p>

2

<p>A Math SAT 2 is required.</p>

3

<p>sorry about that, Math 2 and German w/ Listening are pending scores (I took them in November)</p>

4

<p>Math I OR Math II is a requirement, not exclusively Math II. Both Math subject tests are treated equally in admissions.MIT</a> Admissions: Standardized Test Requirements</p>

5

<p>no Math I refers to the SAT Math 1, the SAT2 Math II is the math subject test</p>

6

<p>Actually, mark126 is correct. You can take SAT Subject Math I or Math II.</p>

7

<p>Well, I've already taken math subject test II, and I will post in a week and a half or so with that scoroe, as well as German with listening.</p>

8

<p>You look pretty solid in terms of competitiveness, hard to tell beyond that. There's nothing here that screams "Admit me!" at a glance but that's true for most of the people who get admitted too.</p>

<p>A coach's tag, like various other things, will probably give you a "tip" - in a tough choice between similar applicants, it can tip the balance in your favor. That's about it, though.</p>

<p>Just to add to this, I got SAT Subject Test scores today... 800 in math IIC and 800 in German w/ Listening</p>
