<p>Is a 690 (60 percentile) on physics SATII below average for MIT? Does it matter if I’m not going to major in physics anyway? I want to major in computer science and math. Math 2: 800. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>this is likely below average for MIT… but probably not for other places</p>
<p>Why would a math/CS major be expected to know physics? Physics majors don’t really have CS requirements. Should art majors be required to know variational calculus? Does anyone even care about specialization?</p>
<p>^ok they’re not expected to know it, but for purposes of admission, they’re expected to know it.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to major in biology or world history, but i still had to know it and do well on them cuz i’m tryna get into college.</p>
<p>It does matter if you’re not going to major in physics. You’ll be required to take two physics courses at MIT regardless of your major.</p>
<p>The 25th/75th percentile scores for the science SAT II for MIT admits are 710 and 800. ([stats](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml]stats[/url]”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml)</a>)</p>
<p>thanks guys, does anyone know what the 25th/75th percentile scores for the science SAT II for other top schools are? post links please.</p>
