<p>@luckystar888 there is a WISE for women, but that’s not the one I’m referring to:
<a href=“http://wise.mitadmissions.org/”>WISE 2022 | MIT Admissions;
<p>For those who are interested, I’m going to Carnegie Mellon! Which is a lot like MIT in regards to culture and community and research, so check it out ;).</p>
<p>And so far one E2 kid has been named a 2014 Coke Scholar and another a 2014 Gates MIllenium Scholar!</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD congrats! That’s amazing news!</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Haha are you talking about Isaiah Udotong? He just got the Gates Scholarship!</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Nice! I actually visited CMU earlier this week. The weather was very overcast, giving it a quality of mystery that I actually loved. Anyway, what are you going to study? </p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Thanks for the link! Now I now to apply if I get rejected (: and I applied to SAMS, which is a Math and Science Summer Program at Carnegie, so that’s my backup plan!</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Congrats! I applied to a program called SAMS at Carnegie Mellon, it’s an awesome school.</p>
<p>Guys, what are you planning to major in?
Personally I want to double major in Aerospace Engineering and Mathematics (this is not for sure yet but that’s what it seems like at the moment)
Also, how many of you plan to go to Grad school? doctorate?</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard Thanks for the offer for helping me with my chem! I’ll be sure to contact you, and is SAT chem the only subject test you are taking?</p>
<p>And I plan to at least go to grad school, not sure about doctorate, but it would be awesome if I got a job that would pay me to go get a doctorate XD</p>
<p>I’m also taking Math 1 and Math 2 subject tests.</p>
<p>Also, I think I’ll get a doctorate one day because I want to “retire” as a professor (after working x amount of years)</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Congratulations! My close friend (she’s graduating a year early) is going to CMU as well, perhaps you’ll meet her XD</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard I’m likely to double-major in compsci and engineering (probably electrical.) I’d also like to pick up some background in entrepreneurship or management. I suppose grad school is a possibility but I’m probably not going to get a doctorate.
Also, it’s unnecessary to take both the Math 1 and 2 subject tests since Math 2 encompasses everything in Math 1 already lol, and colleges will really just want to see Math 2 if you end up doing both. In either case, best of luck! I took it earlier, so if you need any tips just throw me a message.</p>
<p>Thanks @Apdenoatis ! and I figure that
a. I can take up to 3 in a single seating and unfortunately I haven’t been able to take a physics class yet (I’m taking physics with calc 1 and 2 though with the college next year, fall and spring respectively)
b. MIT accepts either one equally, so I figure I can send the better of the two
c. I like math, so I feel like I can bear two hours of it rather than 1 hour of it and one hour of French or something.</p>
<p>Do you know up to what level math each one encompasses? I’m in calc ab at the moment.</p>
<p>Math 2C is Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. It has the higher curve because it covers a broad range of topics.</p>
<p>Math 1C is Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. There are some questions on limits. This one is the easier test, but the curve is harsher. </p>
<p>We’re both aerospace engineering aspirers!</p>
<p>@eudotong yeah are you his brother? I noticed you had the same last name and your profile pic looks like Cambridge. We were classmates and lab partners at E2. He’s an awesome guy and I’m so proud of him?
Another E2er was also names a Gates scholar today <3</p>
<p>I’m doing the chem/mathI/mathII combo too (for the same reason, no other subject test to take so I figured I’d take both Math tests). What are the “precalc” topics in the math ii test? I ask because sometimes precalc classes cover different things in different schools. Some cover limits, some don’t. Some cover polar/complex numbers, some don’t, ext. Also, what’s the curve like for Math II? Like, for a 750, how many can you miss? Same for chem?</p>
<p>I don’t know what I want to do yet. I’m thinking mech or materials. I won’t really know until I start taking some of the actual classes to see what I learn towards. I’d thought about doing computer science, but even though I’m a programmer I’m not sure that’s what I’d want to do in my daily life. It’s more of a hobby for me. I also, like apdenoatis, want to get some background in entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard as @Existentialized mentioned, the curve is better for math 2, but you still can only get 3-4 wrong if you’re aiming for an 800. And yes, if you’re taking calc AB at the moment, you’ve learned pretty much everything necessary.
MIT may accept either one equally, but I’d be willing to bet that they look at your scores in the context of your school and your grades. If you’re from a decent school and you’re already taking calc AB in junior year, it may look funky if you only send a Math 1 score. MIT does claim to do “holistic” admissions, after all.
And wow, is it that you’ve already exhausted the bio and chem subject tests? You don’t need to take that many lol.</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 you can probably get 5-6 wrong and get at least a 750. I don’t know about chem, but if you go to a bookstore and dig around the prep books you should be able to find score conversion charts. Or perhaps Google it.</p>
<p>You do need to know limits. I think you need to be able to convert polar equations and just know the general idea of how they work (like identifying an angle or something.) You’ll need trig, knowledge of sums of geometric and arithmetic series, and uh - can’t think of anything else at the moment lol. </p>
<p>The curve for Math II is usually around a maximum of 6 wrong for 800. </p>
