How will Penn view my SAT scores?

<p>May SAT:</p>

<p>CR - 660, M - 790, W - 620 (2070/1450)</p>

<p>October SAT:</p>

<p>CR - 690, M - 680, W - 740 (2110/1370)</p>

<p>Superscore:</p>

<p>CR - 690, M - 790, W - 740 (2220/1480)</p>

<p>I'm applying ED. Will they look down upon the 110 point decrease in Math? Will an 800 on the Math II make up for that?</p>

<p>yes, a good score on the math level 2 would be good</p>

<p>They’ll see your superscore. It doesn’t matter that your math dropped to 680. If I were an adcom, I’d assume that since you hit 790 already, you simply didn’t care to focus all that hard on math next time around and put more energy into CR. Won’t be held against you. They’ll treat it as a 790 Math and nothing more.</p>

<p>An 800 Math II though is always good. They’re a dime a dozen at Penn (esp. in Wharton/Engineering), so it’s something you probably don’t want to be without.</p>

<p>That’s great, they’ll superscore anyway and your scores are pretty good :slight_smile:
What are your other subject test scores though?</p>

<p>Also - when does Penn usually like to receive score reports sent through College Board by for ED applicants? Like can we send them now?</p>

<p>My Subjects as of June were only 710 on US History and 660 on Literature. I’m retaking those is November and also taking the Math II.</p>

<p>Also, Penn accepts the November test scores, but they want all existing scores sent by November 1st. So yes, send them now.</p>

<p>@OP: You should be fine–everyone has mentioned often the superscore nature of Penn Admissions. Just remember to send ALL of your scores–they superscore for you; you don’t superscore your own scores.</p>
