How'd you guys do on last possible SAT for EA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I'm so happy I decided to take the SATs a second time. I woke up this morning to a pleasant suprise:</p>

<p>New (Old)
Cr: 700 (800)
M: 770 (700)
W: 800 (770)</p>

<p>Hmm, I'm kinda shocked I dropped so much in CR. I didn't take CR that seriously since I was trying to save brainpower for math and writing, but I still expected like a 740 at least. Whatever, now I have a composite of 1570/2370. Hopefully the scores will get to New Haven in time to help my app a little bit. How'd you guys fair on your last EA chance?</p>

<p>Wow congratulations, that's a great score!</p>

3

<p>2370 is quite commanding, congratulations!</p>

4

<p>umm....700+770+800=2270 not 2370</p>

5

<p>I got a 2270 this time, but Yale said that they take your highest score on each section, so its goes 800+770+800.</p>

<p>No one else applying to Yale SCEA took the November SATs?</p>

6

<p>I took the November SATs but I took subject tests.
Biology M: 760
Math IIC: 770
Literature: 670 :(</p>

7

<p>I took the subject tests as well:</p>

<p>bio M 730
math II 760
and I already had 770 latin in june (so combined, 2260)</p>

<p>sat I: cr 800, m 720 and wr 680 in oktober (2200)</p>

<p>is this good enough for Yale, if you're an international?</p>

8

<p>800 CR as an international? That's awesome. You did a lot better than most native English speakers!</p>

9

<p>thanks!! But what about the rest of my scores? Aren't internationals supposed to get extremely high sat II scores??</p>

10

<p>Anything 750+ is certainly commendable, and a 730 is nothing to look down on.</p>

11

<p>flowertje, I'm an international, too. I think internationals are only "supposed to" get high SAT II Math scores. And i personally didn't even take SAT II math...so much for stereotypes :p</p>

12

<p>Well I think internationals need higher scores in general since so many qualified applicants are applying for more or less only 10% of the class.</p>

<p>Quick question: As long as I put Yale down as a score recipient, I don't have to rush scores right?</p>

13

<p>emperor, that's true...internationals generally have it real bad, especially since we tend to need lots of $$$ and very few colleges are need-blind for us.</p>

14

<p>what if one has 2050 sat1 ( maths 800)
and</p>

<p>sat2 : Maths2c 800
Maths1c 790
Physics 760</p>

<p>With all other stuf amazing</p>

15

<p>Well, "amazing" isn't very desciptive...</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I got a 2190:</p>

<p>800 M
670 CR (just 30 more points and I'll be happy)
720 W (I can do a lot better, but I'm not going to whine about it)</p>

<p>But there are still 7 more test dates that will be in time for my Yale SCEA decision. ;)</p>

16

<p>Previously, I did my best on the old SAT (800M, 710V), but this time I took the new SAT and I got some interesting results:
Writing: 770
CR: 670
Math: 720</p>

<p>Overall, since Yale takes your highest section scores, I'm in good shape (800M, 710CR, 770W = 2280 composite).</p>

17

<p>So as long as I put Yale down as a score recipient for my Nov test it'll get there in time, right?</p>

18

<p>Statement from Yale's undergraduate admissions site:
"November 5 is the last test date on which SAT I or SAT II Subject Tests may be taken for Single-Choice Early Action consideration. Although we cannot guarantee that scores will arrive before the Admissions Committee convenes, past experience suggests that November scores will arrive in time. January 28 is the last test date on which SAT I or SAT II Subject Tests may be taken for consideration under Regular Decision."</p>

19

<p>So, no rush was needed? I think some colleges said scores get there the same time no matter which way you send them, but I've heard so much different stuff its hard to keep everything straight.</p>

<p>I took Math Level 2 SAT II (650) :( I'm taking it again in december, too late to be considered for EA.</p>
