MIT requires a math, either math 1 or 2, with no stated preference for either and math 1 is fine. Note you also need a science (bio, chem, or physcis) for MIT even if applying for its business school. Georgetown does not require subject tests but highly reommends three and they can be any three in different subjects (your math 1 and math 2 count as only 1 toward the total needed) and math 1 is fine for it also. Not sure who created the myth that most schools prefer math 2 but it is a myth. UCs do not accept math 1, Stanford recommends math 2 if you submit a math, Caltech requires math 2, and some other universities require math 2 for engineering or science, but otherwise either math 1 or 2 is usually fine.
