<p>I kinda blanked out on the test. FML FML FML. SO upset right now...
Should I send out my current SAT scores (SAT I, Chem, USH, and Math I) to MIT and pretend that I never took the SAT Math 2? I think I got like a 720-750...shyeah...
Or would it be really bad to just send in the Math I score for EA?
Can I rush report the SAT Math 2 score if I change my mind and want to submit it?
Would a bad math score look really bad if I'm applying to something non-engineering and all my activities, etc. support the non-engineering pursuit?</p>
<p>720-750 isn’t a bad score. Anything over 700 is fine.</p>
<p>What are your other scores? If they are more flattering, you might as well just send those. Then if you are pleasantly surprised, you can always send it for RD. (BTW, don’t you know when you leave the test what you got? Is it a computer test? When I took the GRE general test, I knew right after the test.)</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you are applying to something non-engineering. All candidates are held to the same standard. People on here will say this is because you have to pass the general institute requirements, but I think it is more than that. Even if you are a management major, it is expected that you can analyze situations with the sophistication of a physicist.</p>
<p>BTW, why do you think you got in the 720-750 range on the exam? How many do you think you got wrong. Unless the Math 2 SATII curve has been changed, you can get as many as 6 wrong (!) and still get an 800. You should check out the curve before you make this decision. </p>
<p>Anyway, don’t freak out. You’ve already got two good SATII’s probably.</p>
<p>I got a 730 in the Math II exam.</p>
<p>Relax. It’s not nearly as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be.</p>
<p>If you are really worried about this and you think you can do better if you take the test again…it might be worth it to take the test again, even if you have to fly out to another state…</p>
<p>If they give you the option of sending a Math I OR II score, do you really think they care that deeply about whether or not you get a perfect or near-perfect score on it?</p>
<p>
It’s fine to send Math 1 to MIT – there’s no preference for Math 2 over Math 1.</p>
<p>If you submit both a Math 1 and Math 2 score, MIT will only use the one that makes you look best. So if your Math 1 is already excellent, there’s no need to send the Math 2 whether or not it’s good. You likely would not need to send a rush report if you do decide to send it, as even November SAT scores do not need to be rushed to MIT.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter whether you plan to pursue an engineering major or not – all applicants to MIT are evaluated using the same criteria.</p>
<p>I got a 640 on the Math II and sent it in. Chillax.</p>
<p>It’s easier to chillax if you’ve been accepted…</p>
<p>Easier, sure - but it’s not impossible beforehand :D</p>
<p>why not just send both? MIT says they consider the one that makes you look better anyhow.</p>
<p>I already sent in my scores without the Math II score. If I do well on it then I’ll just send a second report (either right when it comes out or in December if I get deferred).</p>
<p>tell us whatcha get after u get the results in oct 29th :)</p>
<p>I left 6 blank on the Math II and got a 800… chill out</p>
<p>I’m still hung up on how a 730 is considered a “bad” score =(</p>
<p>if i get a 730 when i take it, i’ll probably cry tears of joy</p>
<p>Vivi: don’t be, because it’s not. =)</p>
<p>I find that, when talking about SAT I and II scores, it’s almost offensive to most people to put down or downplay your even own scores which are in the 650-750 range simply because you expect an 800, because most of them don’t attain them anyway. </p>
<p>Consider that the national average for the SAT I is around 1500. Now if you get a 2100 and tell someone who got a 1850 and is satisfied with her score that you “epically failed” the SAT because you didn’t get a 2300+, it shows a supreme arrogance and sense of unwarranted self-superiority.</p>
<p>Well, someone who got a 1850 and is satisfied with her score is probably not applying to MIT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That (and your being MIT class of 12) makes me feel so much better. I got a 690 the first time around and since I’m a year out of chemistry/a few months into AP, I don’t think my chem scores will be any good.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Of course, but why is that? Because she knows she’s not “good enough for MIT” or not ambitious enough or is it because all prospective freshmen must frantically obsess about their scores?</p>
<p>It doesn’t really matter though. You are more fortunate than her whatever the reason and you shouldn’t forget that.</p>
