<p>I’m guessing that you are in ILL, and have been reading UChicago’s website. They do require one hume/lit and one math/science, for a total of two. Not three. Most other colleges will take any two. But, tech-engineering schools are looking for strong Math 2 scores. </p>
<p>I disagree with Greed, however. There a thousands upon thousands of math-science geeks with strong Math and Science scores. If you want to stand out from that pack of applicants, submit a 700+ Lit/History score, particularly if applying to a college that has distribution/other requirements. :)</p>
<p>btw: the UC system will not accept Math 1, so if you take a Math, it must be Math 2. But math is not required for UC admissions.</p>
