How would Ivy Leagues view a lets say 650 point increase in SAT I?

<p>Somehow, someone who first got a 1600 on their SATs received a 1900 the second time, and then the third and last time a 2250. How would they view this as? </p>

<p>Would they be like, this person is not very smart seeing as they got 1600 the first time. Forget about the 2250.</p>

<p>Or would they be like WOW! This person worked so hard to get up! This is an incredible feat.</p>

<p>They’re obviously going to see it as a good thing, but it may not WOW them. It’s certainly admirable though, and they would probably just look at your 2250 and disregard the lower scores.</p>

<p>really? I thought only UC’s disregard them?</p>

<p>Well I don’t think they’d completely disregard them. The schools that don’t allow score choice will still see them if you send them, but they’ll certainly take the higher score more into consideration.</p>

<p>I doubt they would care too much… Your final score is probably the one that would really matter.</p>

<p>They won’t care. Some of the college adcomss won’t even see the increase. (A clerk writes the HIGHEST scores on the outside of the folder.)</p>

<p>Think about it…if they really believed that applicants could bust their butt and increase their scores several hundred points, it would call into question the use of the tests in the first place.</p>
