How much does math scores matter to MIT admisions?

<p>Hey!
I was wondering whether MIT cared more about math scores than other tip top universities?</p>

<p>I would assume so but I guess it would depend on what major you were applying for at the schools</p>

<p>They want to make sure that your math scores indicate that you can handle the work at MIT.</p>

<p>There is no cutoff if you’re wondering.</p>

<p>@banana if I do undecided major but STS minor would that work?
@SpaceDuck around what grade\score indicates that my math level is high enough? I live in a foreign country where they do not have much to much to offer math-wise and even then my grades aren’t the best but are considered “good enough”(about a B- or so)</p>

<p>I believe that having above a 700+ is sufficient, it was stated somewhere on MIT admissions blogs</p>

<p>Note: I got in with a 660 in Math SAT I & 660 SAT II, but I was taking Multivar. Calc. at my local university (made an A- in the class).</p>

<p>Scores can only tell so much about a person.</p>

<p>Try and get the highest grades possible in your class. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>I have 74 PSAT M, 32 ACT M, and 750 Math II, and I was admitted early to the class of 2017.</p>

<p>80 PSAT M, 800 IIC, 800Math, 12 AIME, deferred.</p>

<p>Don’t matter as much as race/gender/stuff you can’t control</p>
