D has 760 Math2, should she even apply to Caltech or Harvey Mudd? She had the results freshman summer. Since then, she has 800s in bio and chem. She also has 1550 SAT and 1500 PSAT. Which of the two schools are more forgiving on the math score? She has have perfect math scores on both PSAT and SAT. She is hoping to study computer science and has related EC and awards.

Thanks!

Although I cannot speak in the name of those school, I don’t think a 760 is worth retaking

Thanks @Mrduque. She is not retaking. She hasn’t retaken any tests! She is “once and done” girl!

I’m an undergraduate at Caltech, and I believe Caltech would be relatively fine with that score. I recommend applying to both Caltech and Harvey Mudd - see what you can get!
