<p>I didn’t do too well on my subject tests, so I’m planning to retake in October. Does MIT superscore?</p>
<p>MIT only takes into consideration the best subject test score for each category – they will only consider the best math score and the best science score an applicant has, regardless of when those subject tests were taken.</p>
<p>will MIT frown upon a 790 that was retaken to obtain a 800?</p>
<p>DON’T waste your money or your time to go from a 790 to an 800. Seriously. One, MIT won’t be more likely to accept you (admissions blogs seem to agree that all-700s-are-created-equal, and that 800 is just as favorable).</p>
<p>haha, okay i figured, wait but what if it was on the Math IIC, everybody gets an 800 on that!</p>
<p>… I got a 670</p>
<p>Ahh, Piper, you application must have been amazing regardless of your scores. I’m just not that special :P. I got a 720M II, 670 chem, 660 US. Of course, I can only blame myself and my lack of studying. =/ This is going to one fun summer.</p>
<p><em>feels amazing</em> Hehe, point is you can get into MIT without 800’s. Study up and try again, but don’t be too worried if you have amazing ECs and good recommendations.</p>
