<p>i am a high school junior.</p>
<p>i took the sat's in november.</p>
<p>i got a 2310.</p>
<p>i am shooting for top schools, like harvard and yale.</p>
<p>should i retake the sat's?</p>
<p>will colleges see that i got a 2310 when i was relatively younger than most people and give me some leniency for that?</p>
<p>is this score good enough to get me into my dream schools?</p>
<p>i still have plenty of time to retake it.</p>
<p>thanks for the help!</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Unless you completely failed (710'd) something you were supposedly good at, no.</p>
<p>you do realize your only 90 points from a perfect score? god you guys are annoying jkjk you dont need to retake it</p>
<p>breakdown of my score:
750 CR
760 M
800 W</p>
<p>the thing is, lots of people have told me that unelss i got a 2350++, my shots at the ivies are practically 0...</p>
<p>.....My composite is a 2300. I'm hoping for Brown....Ivies are definitely in your reach.</p>
<p>thanks guys! </p>
<p>furthermore:: will colleges look down on me if i DO retake it? (they'll see it as being excessively perfectionistic?)</p>
<p>-- i got a 2310. --</p>
<p>Go to hell. You don't need to retake the ****ing SAT's.</p>
<p>does anyone have any data about average sat scores for harvard, etc... i found some but mostly they seem to be from the 1600 scale</p>
<p>Why spend $44 on something you don't need to do? Use it to pay your fees for score reports, which will add up if you apply to lots of colleges.</p>
<p>Your scores are well in, and even above, the averages for the Ivy schools.</p>
<p>BTW: To your other question: collegeboard.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>i don't think i'll retake it, it just sucks because i always wanted that 2400! oh well, i was (relatively) close this time. good enough i guess!</p>
<p>lmao...why don't u try the ACT...that's what i did. i got like 10 points lower than u on the SATs and wasn't <em>completely</em> satisfied and then took the ACT and got a 36 (without practice yay - its easier)</p>
<p>but i've been practicing the sat so much that i don't think i will do that well on the ACT.... the science section kills</p>
<p>well that's what i thought, because i've never taken an ACT in practice before, but i knew that even if i did horribly my SAT was still satisfactory and i could just not send the ACT</p>
<p>and then i got a 36</p>
<p>my non-800 Math SAT score is a good conversation starter, though.</p>
<p>It is definitely not necessary to retake it. Those scores are amazing. I'm jealous lol.</p>
<p>yes, i hope they're harvard/yale caliber!</p>
<p>i would retake them. those are good scores but you probably need to do better</p>
<p>If i was a college I would reject anybody who retook a 2300+ unless they had a damn good reason to retake it - this just screams "I'm an elitist ****** who only cares about name-brand schools"</p>
<p>-- yes, i hope they're harvard/yale caliber! --</p>
<p>Only if you survived cancer or escaped from a remote village in Darfur.</p>
<p>2310??</p>
<p>LOL good luck with ivies then. You are right, only 2350+ scores will get you in. They see your score, they will reject you right away. I'm sorry.</p>
<p>what is that supposed to mean? hammer, you're the only person on this thread whose actually recommended retaking it. i only wanted to retake it because i wanted to do all i could in order to improve my chances of getting in. it's nothing about snobbery or anything. i don't want to be pretentious- believe me! if i had it my way i wouldn't touch those sat's once anymore, but i just don't know if it's worth the risk. i already told myself that if i got 2350+ i wouldn't retake. but 2310 is just barely above 2300... sighh.</p>
