which one is more preferable?

<p>say if two applicants have the same stats
but only one difference
applicant 1
800M, 780 IIc
applicant 2
780M, 800 IIc
which is more preferable?</p>

<p>Definitely 780M, 800 IIC.</p>

<p>A 780M reflects that an applicant might have accidentally missed one or two problems. An 800 IIc shows that an applicant <em>must</em> have missed at least around 5 problems (given the generous curve). An exceptional math student may get a 780M (or even a bit lower), but will never get less than an 800 IIc.</p>

<p>another one,
700 writing on SAT II
or
700 writing on the new SAT I?</p>

<p>They are pretty much identical.</p>

<p>Eh IIC is just Precalc. SAT I Math tests ur innate ability at math. I think SAT I Math is more important, but I do agree 800 IIC coupled with 780 I looks better.</p>
