I don’t think the difference between a 780 and an 800 is going to mean much to an admissions officer. If you have no other options, spare time, and the choice on which score to send, it’s only a matter of money so it doesn’t hurt. But for mathematically gifted students, I recommend focusing on AMC, AIME, ARML, etc. scores that much better differentiate true top math talent. MIT/Caltech are going to take a 780 Math II + AIME qualifier over an 800 Math II only.
