<p>I'm looking to apply to Dartmouth ed and I have two solid sat II scores... a 790 in us history and a 750 in biology. Furthermore, these two scores are backed up by 5's in their respective ap scores. I realize that only two tests are REQUIRED, but that most people send in more than two. Do you guys think it's necessary for me to take the sat II math II test? I realize that most high caliber students have a solid sat II math II score. Will it hurt my chances for dartmouth if I do not have a math II score?</p>
<p>If you’re good at Math, certainly try it out.</p>
<p>Otherwise its useless at this point. You’ve all the applications, essays and other stressful work coming over and focus on them is necessary too. You’ve two Subject tests and they’re enough.</p>
<p>One recommendation: Write stellar essays…show everything in them…as your ED application will be scrutinized more than RD applications.</p>
<p>I think it depends. If you are tentatively thinking about becoming for example, an engineering major, then it may be to your benefit to have a SATII in math.</p>
<p>do u think you can get an 800? take it.</p>
<p>i don’t think anyone can say for sure whether or not it will help much but just take it to be sure. (that is if it doesn’t take too much of ur time)</p>
<p>@ sybbie719: Well, if he’s an engineering major, he needs either Chem or Phy along with Math L2</p>
<p>Haha this is kinda funny. I took BIO, USH, and Lit as my SAT II’s, and I got in as a Government major. I probably would have done somewhat poorly on the Math II exam, but, now that I’m in, I just changed my major to Mathematics and Social Science. Just model your SAT II’s and application around the subjects that were your strongest in high school.</p>

<p>Considering that you have not even gone to orientation or started school yet, you probably won’t be declaring a major for at least another year and a half (whether it is government of math).</p>
<p>To the OP, overall your chances will not be hurt if you do not present a SAT II math score. Schools are fully aware that students fill out their application presenting one interest and change their mind once they start taking classes and become exposed to different subjects.</p>

<p>Obviously… but I am allowed to pick and change, at will, my intended major and the area of study in which I want my academic advisor. In the undergraduate pre-matriculation menu I have already changed my intended study from Government, which they had preset it to based on my application, to MSS. The point of my post was to say that you shouldn’t worry about modeling your SAT II’s after a specific subject area for Dartmouth, just play up your strong subjects with the SAT II and hope for the best.</p>
