My first question ever: Bio or Physics for MIT?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hi this is my first question on CC, please help me out :)
Actually I have 3 questions.</p>

<p>Background:
I am an American just-became-senior that has been going to a native school in Japan for the past 9 years (I've been here that long!?)
I would love to study cancer-biology or perhaps bio-engineering at MIT
I have 770 chem, 800 math2, 800 japanese
P.S. I'm confident about mostly everything except for community service and the SAT</p>

<p>Question 1:
Would it be a waste of time to take another subject test to cover my mediocre SAT scores?</p>

<p>Question 2:
Would it be easier to ace physics (which I've only briefly learned in 'comprehensive science'), or bio (which I've learned in Japanese in two years of bio class)?</p>

<p>Question 3:
Would it be better to take physics to show that I have basic knowledge in physics even though i didn't take the recommended classes or to take bio because I like it?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Future MIT students don’t even ask the question, they just take all of the science tests without a thought.</p>

<p>You have only listed 3 Subject tests. You don’t need any more for MIT. If you will share the mediocre scores, maybe we can comment. There is no way statistically to improve on your SAT scores.</p>

<p>If you are uncertain, contact MIT admissions and they will tell you if bio or physics Subject Tests would make any difference to them. I doubt it will.</p>

I guess I’ll ask
And if they don’t bother, I’ll just keep on selfstudying both in English, then decide depending on a practice test
Thank you :)</p>
