How Much Of A Difference Do SATs Actually Make?

<p>^I’d agree with that statement. At top schools a 2100 won’t really get you in anywhere, but it’s not so low that you’re an automatic reject if you’re un-hooked. A 2200 is the norm and, in my opinion, a 2300+ gives you an edge. I got a 2100 flat on the SAT after three tries, and applied to a lot of top LAC’s. I’m certain it was my essay, not my scores, that got me into the schools I was accepted at. </p>

<p>Whether there’s actually a difference in intelligence of someone who has a 2100 opposed to someone with a 2300, is an entirely different story. I’d say absolutely not.</p>
