<p>I'm a Canadian student, and it was my second time writing the SATs.
Last time I wrote (Jan 2013) I got 2050.
This time I got:
CR: 680 (I thought I would get at least 700!!)
Math: 800 (Really surprised about this one. Never scored a 800 before on my practice tests...)
Writing: 710 E9 (:( upset about this one. I thought I did well. Apparently not.)
Total: 2190</p>
<p>I'm applying to the Ivies. Do you think I should rewrite in December? Do I stand a chance with this score?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!</p>
<p>Your Maths score is really good (I won’t say perfect because it is what a lot of Ivy applicants will have). But you should consider retaking the test because of your CR score. If you ever get a lower score in Maths, just use your superscore.</p>
<p>Your scores are similar to DS (all over improvement) and we are from Canada too (Ontario, GTA).</p>
<p>He got 2040 in June (730 CR; 730 M; 580 W E8)
He got 2220 in Oct (760 CR; 750 M; 710 W E10)</p>
<p>I read in many places that you should have all scores in the 700s (for Ivies and top schools) so suggest retaking.</p>
<p>What are your subject tests and when are you taking them. DS is taking Biology and Math 2 in December. He really only started studying for the Physics after SAT 1, did a practise test after realizing he has not learned that much (taking grade 12 physics in semester 2) so we decided to refocus on biology instead (he got a 95% grade 12 class last year in grade 11). We switched the date from Nov to Dec now that we are not going SCEA - too complicated to get the teacher recs in time for November.</p>
<p>I wrote my Math II and Chemistry subject tests last June. I got 750 on my math and 720 on my chemistry. I’m retaking the chemistry one this November. </p>
<p>I have a 4.0 GPA and a good average (98% grade 11 + 12). The thing is, my AP scores are TERRIBLE. I bombed my exams. I have a 4 in chemistry and 3 in calculus. I do have a 5 in psychology, but almost everyone aces their psychology exam.
Thankfully, I’m not going into the sciences, but ironically, I only have test scores in the science area. Do you think that the bad AP scores will hurt my chances?</p>
<p>Then I really don’t know what to tell you. Ivy-wise, 2190 is not outstanding but still very good. You might be less competitive, but I guess it all depends on you app as a whole. What have you accomplished? Do you have anything that makes you stand out from the crowd? That kind of stuff.</p>
<p>Also, there is usually very little improvement between a second and third sitting. You might increase your score of maybe 10-20 points in CR. Is it really worth it? Harvard might not regard your third sitting as highly as your second one. Two sittings is a good number, you should be fine.</p>
<p>If you have great ECs and impressive GPA, you should be fine.
A third seating may not impress any ivy. But its up to you, if you feel you can pull your score to a 2250 then go ahead!</p>
