<p>So I fell asleep during the psats, and got a 178 i think, but on the real sats i got a 2210. So do colleges see my psat scores or like do they matter at all?
Will this hurt my chances is what I'm asking.</p>
<p>Colleges never see PSAT scores.</p>
<p>However, teachers and guidance counselors will have set their first impression of you and will use the PSAT score to track you to particular classes and colleges. </p>
<p>You will need to work overtime to change their impressions. First impressions are hard to overcome. Don’t just have a high SAT tucked in a file somewhere- crow about it to all those decision makers. Follow up with great grades, not in keeping with the PSAT score, and point them out - humbly. Have a good laugh with them about falling asleep in the PSAT, so that they have a rational reason to change their minds about you. Sometimes perceptions of a person are more important than facts when people form opinions of you.</p>
<p>^PSAT scores go on my transcript…so actually colleges will see my PSAT scores (maybe not someone elses from some other school)…I don’t know if they will care about it though…but usually if you see something, you might not care, but you will remember the score.</p>
