<p>I'm an international student, and I just finished taking my SAT Subject Tests today in Math-1,Math-2 and Physics. I'm hoping to major in Comp. Sc. but my ECs have a lot of emphasis on writing and debating. Plus, English has been one of my strongest subjects in school along with Comp. Sc., whereas Math has been a bit harder to get around. This was the reason I took two Math subject tests...plus, my Math score in SAT 1 wasn't that great as compared to my CR (780) and writing (800).
In light of all this, do you think taking Math 1 and Math 2 would hamper my chances? I'm a little worried that it may, considering Harvard requires 3 subject tests, but I guessed my interest in literature, pol. sc. and history came through in my ECs and school grades.
Could anyone help me, and let me know if it'd be a problem? I'm a bit worried it my screw my chances and Harvard is my first choice...</p>
<p>It doesn’t look impressive to take Maths I and II, Since Maths II encompasses Maths I (thus making it redundant in terms of what it says about you). </p>
<p>If you want to prove your breadth, my suggestion is to take some of the “traditional” science/maths subject tests, ie:</p>
<ul>
<li>Physics</li>
<li>Chemistry. </li>
</ul>
<p>Just a point though - I don’t think that one set of test scores will “screw” your chances. Admission/Rejection is based on the whole application, certainly not one single aspect.</p>
<p>i think you are all right because it’s Harvard college, and they don’t really look that much into intended majors. I think the admission decision is free from your choice on the major.
but still, math I and Math II together is not a great idea.
but you have january.</p>
