Which SAT Subject Tests to send?

So most schools I'll be applying to will let me send 2 SAT subject test scores. I've taken 3, and I'm not sure which ones I'd send.

Math II - 750
Biology M - 710
Spanish - 760

I'll most likely be majoring in biology. However, I may also minor in Spanish and I know colleges like seeing a Math II SAT (even though I've taken Calculus already). Anyway, which 2 should I send? Schools I'd be applying to include Vanderbilt, UVA, Rice, Wake Forest.

Did you take AP Calc? If so, what'd you get?
Also, what are your math SAT/ACT scores?

If your standardized test scores AND AP scores are high, then I'd try to avoid sending the Math II SAT2. It still is a great score, but with the generous curve that probably puts you in the 80th percentile.

I'd send Bio since that's your intended major, and I'd send Spanish assuming your not a native speaker. If you plan on applying to a school like georgetown that requires 3, Math II shouldn't hurt you.

Yes, I took AB Calc this year but I'm waiting on my score. Most likely a 4 though.
In my SAT I, I got (yet again) a 750 on the math section.

The only reason I wasn't sure about sending bio was because its a bit low especially considering the competitiveness of the schools I'm applying to. Thanks!

bump! basically I'm wondering if sending "the wrong ones" will hinder my chances of acceptance anywhere?

Honestly, if I were you, I'd send in the highest score (the Spanish one), and assuming that you're not a native speaker. Schools know that students change their major several times over during first and second year of college (and sometimes 3rd year too), so they don't take it too seriously on your intended major. Showing them your strength (hence, your highest score) is more important.
