<p>I want to get into a combined medical program or possibly an Ivy League such as Cornell...can you please tell me what my chances are? thank you!</p>
<p>Hi--Forgive me...I am just a mom...but your SAT scores look like they are the old sats scores-based on a maximum of 1400. Are you required to submit the new version which is a 2400 total scores based on 3 components?</p>
<p>Most schools still use the old 1600 scale when looking at SATs. They use the better of your two Verbal scores (Critical Reading or Writing) combined with your Math to get your total. Some schools, however, only look at the Critical Reading and Math combined score.</p>
<p>Is this a joke thread? One poster claiming the old scale was to 1400 and the next claiming they'll use your writing score if it's better? Is it April already???????????</p>
<p>suze is absolutely correct--both of those pieces of (data?) are nonsense. But I believe APOL's statement was probably just a typing error.</p>
<p>As far as your chances, the Ivies take people in the top 1% to 3% of students, not top 6% to 7%. You have some chance at places like NYU, University of Rochester, University of Illinois, etc.--but not at any of the Ivies. Even for these colleges, you should try to raise your SAT II scores--which are fairly low, relatively speaking.</p>
