[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anything above a 1500 is fine for top schools and even 1450+ if good grades/rigor/extracurriculars. MIT and CalTech may be exceptions that want to see 800s in math. A 1580 is certainly not going to be a negative but is not determinative in and of itself. [/quote] Neither CalTech or MIT care about an 800 in Math. They care about mastery and a 770 shows mastery per a MIT AO. If you have that the misses are just mistakes, not indicative of a lack of mastery.[/quote] I want to believe that, but the MIT common data set shows that 770 is below the median for math and CalTech's recent statement coming directly from their admissions office says that CalTech puts 780 and 800 in math in Bucket A. If 770 was the same as 780, why wouldn't Bucket A also include 770?[/quote]
