Am I doomed to get into ivy league from SAT score?

<p>Just got my SAT scores back and this is what I got...</p>

<p>Total: 2210</p>

<pre><code>Critical Reading 700 95%
Math 730 97%
Writing 780 99%
Multiple Choice 78 (score range: 20-80)

Essay 10 (score range: 2-12)

<p>I figure for ivy league schools (my top choices are Penn Wharton, Harvard, and MIT) these are pretty low scores. So? :(</p>

<p>2210 is right around the average i would say for most ivies, so as long as you have good extra-curriculars and grades you still have a decent shot.
dont worry so much.</p>

<p>for your choices (wharton, mit, harvard) they're about avg or a little below, but for the rest of the ivies id say theyre a little above avg (i think the avg is like 2160 or so)</p>

<p>Don't worry too much. Your scores are extremely good. :)</p>

<p>I completely agree with tjan. Those schools blatantly place more emphasis on the "well-rounded student". A recent article showed that Harvard rejected more than 3500 applicants with both perfect SAT and ACT scores. If you have good EC's and recommendations, amongst other things, you have a good shot.</p>

<p>^I don't know how that's possible, seeing as only 269 students got 2400s last year: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/composite_CR_M_W_percentile_ranks.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/composite_CR_M_W_percentile_ranks.pdf&lt;/a> Unless you're referring to individual sections, I don't think the number is that high. </p>

<p>Regardless, your scores are fine. Retake them in the fall, if you think you can do better, but definitely don't stress about it.</p>
