I think I just epically failed SAT Math 2 -- What should I do?

What are your other scores? If they are more flattering, you might as well just send those. Then if you are pleasantly surprised, you can always send it for RD. (BTW, don’t you know when you leave the test what you got? Is it a computer test? When I took the GRE general test, I knew right after the test.)

It doesn’t matter if you are applying to something non-engineering. All candidates are held to the same standard. People on here will say this is because you have to pass the general institute requirements, but I think it is more than that. Even if you are a management major, it is expected that you can analyze situations with the sophistication of a physicist.

BTW, why do you think you got in the 720-750 range on the exam? How many do you think you got wrong. Unless the Math 2 SATII curve has been changed, you can get as many as 6 wrong (!) and still get an 800. You should check out the curve before you make this decision.

Anyway, don’t freak out. You’ve already got two good SATII’s probably.
