Hi CollegeConfidential peeps,
My class of 2020 senior has the above scores and is concerned they are not good enough for some of the Ivies, especially the Math 2 score. Which ones of the above should the student retake? Math 2 subject? ACT? Bio subject?
Thanks for any guidance and tips!

Scores are fine. Work on the apps, especially the essays, and a good list of interests/accomplishments to give to your kid's LoR writers and GC.

If my kid had a 99% ACT and two 750+ subject tests I would say "done with testing," work on something else. And go celebrate with ice cream or something!

I don't think it's as straightforward as that, what major, other colleges outside of the ivies are you considering and if you don't mind revealing what gender, race/ethnicity are you? An Asian STEM male with those score would probably have to take the math 2 again for MIT/Stanford/Cal Tech/Harvard for sure, that's just the way it is. The 34 is borderline to take again.
