<p>I’m planning on applying to Brown, and I honestly think that I’m a pretty solid applicant in everything except my SAT scores. I realize that SATs are important, and I’m planning on retaking them (I’ve got a 2000, 680 V 680 M 640 W), and that it’s a long shot in any case, but how much weight do they give the SAT in comparison to other things? I’ve got good IB scores, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>The admit rate rises geometrically as the SAT scores rise</p>
