<p>This is my first time posting stats, but I need advice as to whether or not to retake Math 2 in October, 2007. I will be applying SCEA to Stanford, and while they "strongly recommend" submitting 2 subject tests (one of which should be Math 2) we all know that it is more required than recommended! 4.0 unweighted GPA (most rigourous curriculum offered), rank 1/374 public high school with good track record of getting a few into Stanford each year, 33 ACT, Subject Tests: Chem (800), US History (770), Lit (750) and Math 2 (740). I believe this 740 will be the single weakest part of my total application, and while I don't want to be neurotic, I also don't want it to stand out as a negative. Should I retake it in October? Thanks!</p>
<p>I don't think 740 on math will make or break your application. </p>
<p>However, if you think that in case you get deferred/rejected you will never be able to forgive yourself for not retaking it, go ahead and send your scores now, retake math2 in October, and send it in only if your score improves.</p>
<p>don't waste your money nor your time, unless you are applying to Engineering. Instead, spend time working essays....</p>

<p>you can't apply to any specific school or major at Stanford.</p>
<p>I got in with a 710 Math 2, so my vote would be not to retake.</p>
