<p>I gave the old SAT in january and my score was:</p>
<p>Math : 760
Verbal : 680</p>
<p>On my june SAT II’s i got,</p>
<p>Math IIC : 800
Math IC : 770
Physics : 750</p>

<li><p>are my scores enough to get me into univs like UC Berkeley, Stanford, MIT etc.???</p></li>
<li><p>should i retake any of the tests?? im thinking abt retaking the physics since my percentile will be somwhere around 80-85. Please advise.</p></li>

<p>MIT's official quoted range for the SATs are 680 and up, so you should be fine, but taking the new SAT can't hurt. I believe the UCs actually require it but most schools have a fudge year (such as MIT) where either one is fine. Take it, and (for instance) MIT will only look at your highest score from the new and old.</p>
<p>Take the new one especially if vocab was your problem. That gets de-emphasized in the new SAT.</p>
<p>Your SAT II's are fine, although why did you take the IC and IIC?</p>
<p>zoogies, i was actually goin to take the english lit but found it hard and IC was the only test i would have been able to prepare on the last day.</p>
<p>I think you should take another subject test. While Math 1 and 2 may technically be different, I doubt that's what the admissions people had in mind. Besides, I'm almost certain that MIT requires one math, one science, and one humanities subject test.</p>
<p>Thanks, sachit, I've been waiting for someone to ask that. You're almost definitely going to need to take the new SAT; I don't know of any schools that will accept the old one for the class of 2006. And though I don't know about MIT, you'll probably be able to get into Stanford and/or Berkeley. Are you from California? And do you have a bunch of extra-curriculars and a 4.0? if so, then you'll be able to get in. I know a bunch of people who go/are going to go to Berkeley, and I know two people going to Stanford next year. One of them got a low 13something on her SAT, and though she has been 1st chair percussionist of the CA state honor band two years running, she got in, and only has a 4.0 weighted GPA.</p>
<p>be<em>a</em>star, MIT will accept the old SAT for the class of 2006. In fact, many schools will. If I'm not mistaken, only a handful such as the UC's won't accept the old SAT. </p>

<p>Those are the former requirements (before the new SAT). The current requirements are one math, one science, and one in anything of your choice. You'll be fine even if you choose to take another science one.</p>

<p>Harvard Yale Princeton Stanford MIT. (At least, I'm almost positive that's what the M stands for)</p>
<p>Stanford is probably as selective as MIT, and much moreso than berkeley, for most programs. Berkeley out of state is pretty selective though, as is the EECS program, or so I hear.</p>
<p>And, dont listen to anyone about SAT II requirements. Just look them up, its not that hard. The poster immediately above me is correct though. People are often wrong!</p>
<p>"For entry year 2006: SAT I (either the old version or the new version, available beginning March 2005) or the ACT (with or without the optional writing test). In addition, we require three SAT II Subject Tests: one in math (level Ic or IIc), one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m), and the third in any area of your choosing."
I question the wisdom of sending math IC and IIC.</p>
<p>To find out whether the colleges will take the old SAT scores, you need to check on the web sites of colleges that you're considering. Each college has its own policy.</p>
