<p>I'm planning on studying engineering or medicine. Is my score good enough for Ivy Leagues? How good is it? I'm currently in 11th grade.</p>
<p>It’s terrible and you will never amount to anything.</p>
<p>It’s not the most ideal since your CR section is so low for Ivy leagues, but it is still well in the range (25th to 50th percentile maybe). It would be in your best interest to try to get 700+ in critical reading. Achieving a higher score shouldn’t be your main goal though. Try to work on your extracurriculars and the like</p>
<p>It’s horrible.</p>
<p>I hate people like you.</p>
<p>As of today, I also have a 2230. 710 reading 760 math 760 writing. My friend just finished his first year and Johns Hopkins and says I did better than him and his friend who attends UPenn. So it’s definitely good enough. A school’s going to look at you as a whole not just test scores, so they don’t need to be perfect…</p>
<p>You guys are not very smart. It is best to score as high as possible. Just because YOU take 5 months studying for the SAT and can barely get a 1800 does not mean that someone cannot achieve a 2340 upon 1 additional week of studying. Its practicality aside, scoring higher is better (not for obvious reasons but for statistical reasons). As your score goes up, the importance of your score’s going up increases. You have to work your way up the self-selecting pool. This means that just because you are in the range does not mean you should stop there (unless you have great ECs and are confident you will get in). If this were the case, the average SAT score would be lower since all the applicants would stop at the 25th percentile! One should not score high and simply stop there when scoring even higher is clearly a practical option.
(660 in critical reading is like in the 25th percentile for Ivys.)
That is because you scored high for John Hopkins’ standards while your friend scored low for Penn’s standards. There is an overlapping simply because both schools are, objectively, almost as competitive as each other.</p>
<p>Don’t need sarcasm people.
Anyway, yeah, my critical reading score is somewhat low. I got 660 both times. Really don’t want to take the SAT again. I don’t know if my critical reading would improve since it was the same both times. Hopefully my math makes up for it, especially considering I don’t plan at all going into a field with lots of English. I want to be an engineer or doctor. I think 660 CR is decent, idk.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to take the SAT, go ahead. I believe that CR score is decent to some Ivy League schools. However, if you’re going for HYP, you might need to improve CR.</p>
<p>psychopass: You’re an idiot. Get a life.
Yamster: Your CR score is somewhat above average. Consider your CR/M score, which is 1460/1600. You’d be in a better position if the 770 were CR and the 660 were W. As it is… I’d suggest you check the median score range for each college you’re interested in. Top colleges do consider much more than test scores, but it’s useful to compare your subscores with the 75th percentile subscores of admitted students – you want to be near or above those scores if at all possible. You can find median score ranges in the college profiles on collegeboard.com. Good luck.</p>
<p>2230 is pretty decent, but I didn’t get all u guys’ obsession with ‘Ivy League’ schools…
If you’re looking for engg., then there are better colleges than some Ivy leagues ones(esp. like UPenn)
Though ur SAT score certainly helps, in the end it’s all about who you really are, your acads, Olympiads, competitions, projects, etc.(so long as u have a score of atleast ~2200)</p>
