SAT II Math absolutely required?

[cclkrx]

<p>My friend from my school said he got into MIT, but he told me he only took sat ii physics and chem. I thought you needed a math SAT II as a requirement for admission. So now i’m kind of being doubtful (he also said his sister got in without taking ANY SAT IIs, she attends UT Austin now) He has 2390 SAT I but not great ecs.</p>

<p>So, apparently not required? True or no?</p>

<p>One of the two math SAT II tests is required for admission. From the [url=admissions.mit.edu/AdmissionsWeb/appmanager/AdmissionsWeb/Main;jsessionid=GjDgYHh60p9fGc1LMvP4JtGBBJ0p8G5pcQQQfSKTXTpTT0QRLgPc!-425376264!1473351047?<em>nfpb=true&</em>pageLabel=pageApplicationProcess#requirements]MIT Undergraduate Admissions website<a href=“emphasis%20mine”>/url</a>:

For entry year 2006: SAT I (either the old version or the new version, available beginning March 2005) or the ACT (with or without the optional writing test). In addition, we require three SAT II Subject Tests: one in math (level 1 (Ic) or 2 (IIc)), one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m), and the third in any area of your choosing.</p>

<p>For entry year 2007 and beyond: SAT I or the ACT with the writing test. In addition, we require two SAT II Subject Tests: one in math (level 1 (Ic) or 2 (IIc)), one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m).

<p>It is not possible. A requirement is a requirement.</p>
