<p>hey guys, im a high school senior and this is what happened:
i decided to take sat last year in december and dint go through any books or anything and thought that it was bs and easy (im international btw) so i dint study AT ALL.
when i gave sat i realized how stupid id been and got a mere 1930.
math- 720
cr- 610
writing- 600</p>

<p>i decided to work for my next sat and get a 700+ in all 3 sections.
i gave it in june and got a 2280! waaay more than i expected but anyway.
math-770 (just 1 omit !!! i hate the curve !)
cr- 770 (does this look good coz most asians i know got like 650-680)
writing - 740</p>

<p>does this 350 point improvement look good coz the average increase is like 40-50 points or does my original score make it look bad ? </p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>they look at your best score. It’s not like your first score is bad by any means either. They will definitely look at your 2280 and that will be more than sufficient to get in to Cornell. </p>

<p>It would only be weird if you had like sub 600 scores the first time you took it…</p>

<p>They’ll see both scores, but it won’t matter.</p>

<p>My first SAT was a 1960 (I feel asleep during the test; it was the day after Winter Formal give me a break -_-x)
Second time was a 2350.
For the record I ended up getting in, so I don’t think they held it against me.</p>

<p>Agreed. My first time was 2020, second time was 2030. I took my last SAT the month after without studying and got a 2280. Still got in.</p>
