<p>My daughter took the SAT's in January and got a 760 writing, 680 math, and 700 critical reading. She has 3 SAT II's so far - 700 English, 710 US History, and 700 Bio. She retook the SAT's yesterday and feels she did better on her math and reading than the previous test. Her GPA is 4.3 weighted, with all honors and AP's available at her school. Has never had less than an A- on her report card. Lots of ec's. </p>
<p>Do you think she could get in with those scores as is? Thanks!!! </p>
<p>***Update: She just got her new scores for the SAT and she got a 750 in Reading and a 710 in math. She went down in writing, but that is because she put all her effort into studying for the others. Plus, won't they super score her so she would end up with a 750 CR, 710 M, and 760 W. Any help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Scores are in the range, but admission to these places is about so much more than scores… P released stats that show that about 20% of people with 2300 SAT get accepted. </p>
<p>(not sure of the exact numbers, but was about that…)</p>
<p>Yale doesn’t superscore, unfortunately. Her scores are very good, but she must have significant EC’s all directing toward one single passion, whatever that may be. Have that plus a great essay and rec’s, she’s in.</p>

<li><p>In general, I don’t like ‘list’ threads (there are a few exceptions). They are for lazy people who don’t want to spend the time verifying information on the primary source, the college website. Requirements and policies change from year to year, so the primary source is the only reliable information, that is why I try to always cite the website.</p></li>

<li>The people looking for “lists” are not necessarily “lazy.” They could simply be asking for information on a more personal level. Also, this generation thrives on instant gratification. Get used to it.</li>

<p>Look at her posts, look at yours. Who is more helpful? Your first post in this thread was incorrect in almost all its information. Well-rounded students are accepted as well as students with strong direction in their activities. No one is “in” when it comes to Yale; it’s a crapshoot. Entomom probably responded curtly because of how wrong you were even considering how easy it is to get correct information. If you can’t do that, then don’t put yourself forward as knowledgeable. You belong at Harvard. Besides, Google is more “instant gratification” than scouring CC for lists that are not always accurate.</p>
<p>Once college admissions is over, you realize how ridiculous chancing is. Your chance is somewhere around 8%, no matter what your scores are, unless you have done something extraordinary, like cure some disease or created and led a micronation.</p>
