Does MIT (or other schools) have SAT II preferences?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am doing early action for MIT, and I noticed there are only 2 spaces to list SAT II scores (one math, one science). I can either send my SAT II physics score or my SAT II chemistry score, but does MIT have a preference? Does my application look better with a specific subject test?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Kevin</p>

<p>Nope, send whichever is higher.</p>

<p>if you submit your SAT II scores, they will see them all anyway. They are giving you a choice to choose what is more important to you but if you have similar scores in both, it won’t matter.</p>

<p>The MIT admission pages say that they have no preference on subject tests taken, as long as there is one math and one science. </p>

<p>However, say for example someone had either taken SAT II chemistry or physics.
Would either person get an advantage? I have been told that submitting physics scores is better… Not sure.</p>

<p>Nope, send whichever is higher.</p>

<p>No, send the higher one. If you got equal scores, send chem since it has a harder curve.</p>

<p>One more question:</p>

<p>Which SAT I/ACT scores should I send? Or send both?
I know these scores are not high, but I did not have the resources to go to some prep class to prepare for them… I could have prepped for them myself, but I guess I made a stupid mistake… I hope these scores won’t hurt me too much?</p>

<p>SAT I (R/M/W): 640/790/620</p>

<p>ACT + Writing: English (33), Math (34), Reading (33), Science (31), Writing (Not available yet.) </p>

<p>Should I send both scores? Math is higher on the SAT I, but overall is higher on the ACT.</p>
