<p>how well do you need to score on them?</p>

<p>is a score of 750 for math II good? or should I retake?</p>

2

<p>retake.</p>

<p>10char</p>

3

<p>what is a good score to aim for? or do you need to get an 800</p>

4

<p>You’re fine. I got in with a 630 Math I, 590 Physics no studying.</p>

5

<p>Thats not to say that you shouldn’t keep trying for higher if you know that you can do better though.</p>

6

<p>yeah…, why did reptil say to retake though</p>

7

<p>Dunno, but what reptil is wrong. No need to retake unless you absolutely feel inadequate (which you should definitely NOT)</p>

8

<p>He said to retake because 10% of people get an 800 on the Math II. So your score isn’t really an elite score.</p>

9

<p>a lot of mixed views on this topic…</p>

<p>does it look bad if you retook the test and only did, say, 20 points or so points better?</p>

10

<p>cutting it easy, about 8-10% get an 800 on math2. and 750 is therefore a “low” score. with cornell’s admission rate at 19% which will problably even drop next year (and its even lower for engineering) we could assume a 15% rate. so already here we see that a ~780 (15%) would be the equivalent if all students would apply, even those with scores of 400 etc. however, those who apply are already top students.</p>

<p>retake.</p>

<p>The above post isn’t true. Looking at the link below, you can see that the admit rate for cornell college of engineering last year was 29%.</p>

<p>However I would probably still retake the test.</p>

12

<p>it’s a good score, just back it up with good extracurriculars and stuff. my friend got into cornell engineering with a 760 math 2, no biggie</p>

13

<p>does it make a difference if you are applying as a bio/environmental engineering major through the College of agriculture and life sciences?</p>

<p>or is it just best to retake it regardless, since it is still an engineering major.</p>

14

<p>It won’t get you in, it won’t keep you out. Taking it a second time won’t help unless you’re positive you’re going to get an 800 and you just had a bad day. Focus more on writing your essays.</p>

<p>ok thanks for the advice.</p>
