<p>alrite, im planning on taking my FIFTH SAT in the fall. thus far my highest score has been a 2060, which is alright but not great. im looking to apply to some REALLY good school such as columbia, upenn, princeton, MIT, nyu, georgetown, univ of chicago. looking to enter as a business major. im confident il finish my high school career with a 4.5 cumulative gpa, weighted obviously. im working on my SAT IIs which i think ill do good on. ill finish high school having taken 5 AP courses. ill have over 300 hours of community service, clubs, grades, all that. my subsections on the SAT were 640 CR 720 MATH 700 WR .. obviously i just wanna up my reading to at least a 670-680, math to 750-760, and writing to 720. what do you all think about my chances of getting into the aforementioned schools with and without accomplishing those scores in the fall .. ?</p>
<p>wow 5 SATs...</p>
<p>not good at all. That will hurt you a lot (unless you canceled some and they only see you taking 2)</p>
<p>what is your superscore?</p>
<p>what the hell is a superscore?</p>
<p>Have you tried the ACT? Some people inexplicably do much much better on the ACT, and all of those schools accept the ACT. They might want SAT II scores, though.</p>
<p>Hw was implying that he will have taken 5 AP CLASSES.</p>

It's the sum of the lowest scores you got on each section. So yeah, taking the SAT multiple times - not a very good strategy.</p>
<p>panic, superscore is the sum of the highest scores you got on each section, not the lowest.</p>
<p>I was trying to fool him. Thanks for nothing.</p>
<p>lol thats soo mean yet soo funny at the same time.</p>
<p>Based on what S's friends are experiencing this year, the uber-selective schools are going to be a LONG reach. Look over some of the threads on the respective schools. Your GPA looks good, but everyone applying to those schools has a high GPA and SAT scores. Some of S's friends did much better on the ACTs, so +1 to mm2k's idea. If you HS guidance office has a clue, talk with them. </p>
<p>Business Week recently ran an article on undergraduate business schools. A number of state and less-competitive private schools were rated quite high. Look it over and use the information to possibly broaden your search. Good luck.</p>
