<p>I'm hoping to get into one of the ivies or other prestigious schools such as Amherst, Swarthmore, northwestern,etc. </p>
<p>I think I want to major in some type of engineering or a science field.</p>
<p>I got a 2300 on the SAt first sitting, but got a 700 on the math portion (pretty low for ivy standards,) I got an 800 on the Math2 subject test though, and feel like i got a 5 on the AP Calc BC test. I'm also a sophomore, and a girl.</p>
<p>Will my other scores make up for the comparatively low math score? Ifeel like they will, but I'm not positive. I'd appreciate any feedback!(:</p>
<p>A 700 is not low by any standards. You have a 1500 Math+CR which is right on par for prestigious schools. </p>
<p>You don’t need to worry about “making up” for a 700 in math, unless you are applying as a STEM major. Even then, it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>If you really care, just retake the SAT. Study a lot for math and you should be able to get 800, which would be a 2400 superscore which is obviously amazing. It’s pretty straightforward. Do all the math practice tests in the blue book. </p>
<p>Other than that, make sure your ECs stand out. Top school admissions are much more than a GPA and sat score.</p>
