High composite score question with top schools

Alrighty, so don’t get me wrong… I’m extremely excited about my score. I got a 35 composite, with a 36 in english and science, a 35 in reading and a 34 in math. My top choices are Caltech, MIT and UC Berkeley for engineering, and they all obviously put a large emphasis on the maths and sciences. While I know that at this level, there is a very very tiny difference between a 35 and 36 composite, and it’s not worth wasting my time taking it again, should I worry about my math score? With schools that place such a high emphasis on math, would the 34 be worrying? Or is a 34 at that cutoff where they see you have the abilities and an extra point or two isn’t going to make a difference at all? Thanks guys!
