<p>I want to major in bio, but I got a 760 on bio m. Is that good enough for some of my top schools like dartmouth, georgetown, and emory?</p>
<p>Exact same dilemma. I want to declare bio and psych as my interests, so is a 760 really good enough for MIT, Stanford, and Yale?</p>
<p>Those won’t hurt you but they won’t help you either. So yes it’s “good enough” but it won’t make you stand out as a biology genius or anything.</p>
<p>So it’s worth it to retake, colleges don’t look down on that at all? Because I think I can get an 800, I was just more focused on Math this time around…</p>
<p>I’m not sure if they look down on retaking subject tests or not haha, I just asked that question on my own thread. Honestly, assuming you aren’t taking biology in high school again next year, I wouldn’t retake it. I would say at Ivies a 740-780 on bio won’t help or hurt you and a 790/800 (maybe only an 800) could actually boost your application. they usually dont care too much about these tests, not as much as the SAT I for example, and if you got a 5 on the AP bio exam or if you got an A in bio at your school I’m sure you’ll be fine. The only way I would retake it is if let’s say you got a B in Bio for a grade but you want to show you’re still really good at bio, but that doesnt seem like it would be the case with you haha.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies! I’m not really looking at any ivies besides Dartmouth and Brown, so I have more of a dilemma with the top 25 schools.</p>
