Hello,

I was wondering whether taking a GRE subject test in high school would help me get into a selective school such as MIT. I am asking this because I love biology and am pretty good at it. I have memorized Biology by Campbell & Reece, the standard AP book for Biology Oylmpiad. I looked at a sample full length GRE test and it seems doable - I got a 176 / 200 which I think is pretty good w/o studying (the practice test puts me in the top 99%).

Would this make me stand out from the crowd becuase a big part of my application is about my passion for biology and biology olympiad and getting an 800 / close to 800 on the SAT subject test isn’t that special for an MIT applicant or would they just discard it.

Thank you.
