2090 vs 2100 SAT

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>The General Consensus on CC is that to apply to an IVY league school, one needs a 2100 or higher in order for it to have a neutral/negligible effect on the applicant. </p>

<p>That said, is a 2090 looked at the same as a 2100? ONE question more right on any section would've gotten me a 2100, which seems A LOT better than a 2090 (psychologically). </p>

<p>Any help?</p>

<p>2100 as neutral for the Ivies? I’m rather skeptical. I feel that it would be much higher.</p>

<p>That said, I don’t think 2090 would be treated all that differently from a 2100, given the fact that it’s only ten points away.</p>

<p>It depends on your race, actually.</p>

<p>2250 is a solid SAT score for Ivy application, below that is usually below average. That being said, 10 points (2090 vs 2100) is virtually nothing and will not make a difference. </p>

<p>2400s get rejected just as 2000s do. There’s more to an app than test scores, so instead of worrying about 10 points if I were you I’d put work into ECs, essays, recs…</p>

5

<p>I thought it would be 2200+.
But like IceQube said, depends on your race. Asians are usually higher ):</p>

6

<p>I think it also depends on your score breakdown.</p>

<p>For example,</p>

<p>CR 550 M 790 W 750
falls short of
CR 700 M 700 W 690</p>

<p>CR 800 M 800 W 490 is also possible. (and this will undoubtably look better for colleges that only consider CR + M)</p>

<p>Perhaps you can list your SAT score breakdown. At 2090, I’d say you’re fine as long as your scores for all three subjects were evenly distributed.</p>

<p>The last “unofficial statistic” I read said that asians admitted to ivy league level schools had an average of 100-150 points higher than the school’s average (for obvious reasons colleges don’t release the official statistics).</p>

<p>Pretty sure Stanford’s average is 2250 and most others are 2200+</p>

8

<p>there is no real difference between 2090 and 2100.
That being said:
2100+ the referred to as the “magic” score you need to be considered for Ivy’s
2200+ puts you right in the average/strong candidate section
2300+ puts you near the top in terms of SAT’s scores and gives you a leg up</p>

<p>Good…good…</p>

<p>Wait, does anyone know what percentile 2090 is?</p>

It’s a 96th percentile</p>

<p>Honestly, the Ivys care more about grades the SAT scores, and the rumor is as long as your above a 2100 they don’t usually care what your actual scores are. 2350 doesn’t give you any more advantage than a 2150 at this level. 2090 might be a little low, but probably will get you considered</p>

<p>^Not true, most college care equally for grades and SAT, if not more for the SAT. I could go on and on for why this is true, but it just is logically.</p>
