Hey guys so I just got my scores for the November 7th SAT and I got a 620 in CR and a 490 in Math
I’m having some serious mixed feelings about this and I’m doubting whether any school would accept theses scores. My major wouldn’t involve math but would it be a huge problem for me in gaining acceptance? Do you guys know any schools that will accept this?
What score did you receive on the Writing section? The 490 in Math is kind of low, and the 620 in CR makes your M score look like a (somewhat) big contrast. Although there are colleges that only look at the CR and M scores, plenty of schools look at all three scores; your W score can indicate whether you just aren’t at the M section. Do you have any schools in mind that you like but are unsure of whether you would get in based on your scores? Your chances at schools (for many, but not all) also depends on your W score.
If you are not a senior, you should take it once more. If you get into the 500s you will be okay for many schools. If you are shooting for very selective schools that you probably want to get to the 600s. If you are a senior, you will still most likely be okay for many schools except for the highly selective ones. If your grades are outstanding you will probably okay either way!

JNB2Mom … I am a senior and my grades are quite good. i have a 3.7 GPA and quite a lot of extracurricular activities. But do you have any schools in mind for me?
“ANY” school??? Sure, there are lots of schools that will accept those scores.
Where do you live, where are you looking to go, what are you thinking of majoring in, what about the financial picture?
Have you considered the state colleges and universities in your home state?

College confidential has a tool called supermatch. I put a link to it here, but you can find it on your own too. Put you scores and other criteria in and see what it lists.
A word of warning- a lot of schools have a December 1 deadline so you are getting a late start for many of them.
Are you mainly looking for school in the NE region or are you open to other areas as well?
Take the SAT again as all of those scores are really low for your colleges.
i’m an international student so I’m open to other areas aswell
Are you an international student who’ll need financial aid?
yes
good score, many schools will accept you
It’s NOT a good score. Try to retake it.
