Are SAT scores important for internship?

<p>I believe Goldman asks for SAT scores as well.</p>

<p>Bain wants them too</p>

<p>ok so i should retake it for sure...
but as for my second question (is it ok to retake it during college), any other opinion on that? Is it worth it?</p>

<p>I retook it last October (as a freshman in college) and I'm putting my score up there.</p>

<p>im a junior...probably too late to retake now haha</p>

<p>I had a 730 in math and 610 in verbal. I got an email from lehman brothers asking me to apply to their summer analyst program...but they want my SAT score breakdown...and as some one said earlier 1400 is their cut off. So should I put my score on my resume or not?? </p>

<p>Also, I am currently a junior pursuing a double major in Mechanical engineering and economics with an amazing GPA, and recently got interested in ibanking (I thought I wanted to be an engineer but not really interested in it anymore). I really have no past work experience, however I am very involved in on-campus activities and have various leadership positions. How much do you guys think the lack of work experience is going to come in the way of me trying to get into banking and how should I compensate for that if I am trying to look for an intership in banking this summer?? (P.S. Are they done hiring for the summer?? One of my friends told me most of them are done by december?? Is that true??)</p>

<p>Plus...I noticed some of you guys are just freshmen...and I realize you have already started networking..I was wondering how important it is to network to get into banking and if I am a little too late now in trying to get an intership in one of the top banks.</p>

<p>And one last thing can you guys recommend some good books on ibanking which are a must-read if you want to get into the field. Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Im interested in working at a bulge bracket firm. i am currently a freshman at berkeley and recieved a pretty low score on the test (1980/2400). If i maintain a 3.75+ GPA at Berkeley's top-notch b-school (haas), would i still be at a significant disadvantage with my SAT score?</p>

<p>Also, i plan on taking the LSAT in the spring of my junior year and i expect to do much better on that than i did on the SAT (I know, its may be too early to assume this, but lets assume its true), so would a very good LSAT score suffice for a relatively score on the SAT?</p>

<p>Also, do they ask for supporting documentation for SAT scores (like ETS records)? If not, can people lie and do people lie?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Goldman Sachs asks for your SAT scores... they break it down into tiers from 1551-1600, 1501-1550...etc. It sucks if you got 1550 (like me) or 1500 oh well. they ask for the breakdown as well</p>

<p>Some banks (Barclays's), which i'll be applying to in the next couple of days, I've heard that they ask for your AP scores as well! yikes</p>

<p>so basically if you have a 1400 will it be unwise to list yours...? just wondering...</p>

<p>well if they ask for it by all means do. i don't put my SAT score when they don't ask for it.</p>

<p>I think if you later plan to get an MBA or go to graduate school it would be better to take the GMAT or GRE and list the breakdown, in particular the percentiles.</p>

<p>Hi. I just wanted to revive this thread because there were a few questions left unanswered.</p>

<p>Do firms request official reports from ETS? For the scores, I assume that if you have taken it more than once, you use your best scores regardless of sitting (super-scoring)? Also, will firms accept ACT scores and, if so, is there an unofficial cut-off?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I have the same question. And also, would getting past the cut-off of 1400 mean that they wouldn't care about your SAT score anymore in the application review process? A small difference in SAT scores shouldn't be why one applicant gets chosen over another...</p>

<p>From my experience...Goldman Sachs and Lehman brothers both asked for SAT scores just prior to my interview with them. Credit Suisse and Merrill Lynch did not ask for SAT scores. Not too sure about some of the others.</p>

<p>oh god
i'm screwed ;[</p>

<p>1600/2400 SAT
no ACT
2 on AP Hist LOL</p>

<p>Are they even considering the Writing section?</p>
