Advice?

<p>Hey, y'all!
So I just checked my March SAT scores. I got a 2220, which is MORE THAN FINE with me as a score, especially as it was my first time without studying, but here's the thing- my individual scores were 800/620/800. VERY lopsided.
My parents are over the moon about it (they weren't really expecting so much) and now they want me to send my scores to a college I'm looking into. The college itself would take me with an 1100/1600 (they're not very selective- really, they're self-selecting, as they have something specific that I happen to really want), but I'm looking into the honors program, which would get me a high-quality education with a LOT (possibly even everything) off the sticker price. They require a 90 GPA (can do, I think) and a 1400 SAT (out of 1600)/32 ACT. They don't take writing into account at all.
Based on this, I could probably get into the program, though probably with the lower scholarship amount and not the free ride. I'm going to take the SAT again, and probably try the ACT, but since 800s are really flukey, and I'm not sure if they superscore (I can't find the stats anywhere), I don't know if I can duplicate this. My parents say the two 800s will wow them so it doesn't matter about my math score, but I'm not so sure.
Thoughts?</p>

<p>Nice job on the verbal but I think you should take it so your superscore is 2400. If they don’t do superscore then oh well! But plenty of selective colleges superscore so do it nonetheless.</p>

<p>TLTR: Do it, it doesn’t hurt… Unless your parents are cheap to pay</p>

<p>Yeah, try it again. A lot of school superscore; chances are the school you’re interested in does too.
You could just call them and ask.</p>

<p>The school you’re interested in is probably on here:</p>

<p>Ohh- I’m for sure going to study and take it again. My question is whether I should send my current scores to the college I’m interested in.</p>

<p>And I just checked- the college I’m interested in as far as this honors program is concerned isn’t there. Yeshiva University, if you’re interested.</p>

<p>I’m assuming since your name is Hannah, you’re referring to Stern?? Your parents are probably right about the two 800’s, especially considering the caliber of the school you’re applying to. If you’re a junior, why send the scores yet?? You still have time to register for the June SAT’s and assuming you do well on the math section, you can send in those scores this coming October. Good luck!</p>

<p>P.S. Can I ask where you go to school?? I go to a Bais Yaakov in NJ, but I’m definitely not putting out a name for fear of being discovered. :slight_smile: My school would be furious if they ever happened across some things I’ve written here.</p>

<p>Laughaholic: I pmed you, but I’m not sure if it’ll go through. The caliber of the school I’m obviously not scared about but the stats requirement for honors is pretty high, relatively. And the scholarships go with honors.
My school is in NY and based on my post record it’s not hard to figure out which it is. You probably know people who go there.
My issue is that I’m taking SAT 2s in June and May is way too soon especially with APs. So I’m not taking it again til twelfth grade.</p>
