I am currently applying to UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, Cal Poly SLO, and University of Arizona as a mechanical engineering major. I looked on the UC and CSU websites and saw that I didn’t have to take subject tests to get accepted to these schools. Thinking back on it, that was dumb. Anyways, I am now in a sticky situation. There is only one SAT test date available that I could take and send the scores on time. So I was thinking about doing that for two subject tests: Math II and… I have no clue. I took Physics Honors sophomore year, AP Env. science junior year, and I am taking Chem Honors this year (I was going to take AP Physics B, but the class was cancelled due to budget cuts). I am not sure if I would even score above 700 if I were to take the Math II test. Is it worth it? Basically, what would be the best course of action for me to take at this point to ultimately help my chances of getting accepted?
