So I got a 2110 on my first SAT and a 2330 on my second SAT. I think that the I am a great fit for some school’s programs, but I’m wondering if my 2110 is going to significantly impact my chances negatively at schools that require to see all of my testing history or if my second SAT will completely overshadow my first SAT.
In my opinion, the 2330 shows what I am actually capable of and should completely trump the 2110, but I understand from an admissions officer’s point of view how the first SAT could raise some red flags.
What do you think?
That’s not a bad first SAT. Your mental bandwidth, like everyone’s, is limited. Worrying about this is not a good use of it. Your brain has better uses.
Seriously?!?!?
No, your 2110 will raise no red flags. None whatsoever.
Your 2330 is a great score. Congrats. Just know that many applicants with top scores and high GPA’s get rejected from Yale and its peers. However, I will say with 99.99% confidence that if you get rejected from Yale, or any other college, it will not be due to a 2110 on your first try.
Don’t spend another second worrying about this.
