<p>I'm a rising senior.
I took the sat in march and got a 2000/2400 and 1350/1600.
I took it again in june and got a 1930/2400 and 1280/1600.
superscored it's a 2050/2400 and a 1400/1600.
I know that these scores are ok, but i need better than that.
to top it off, i only have a 28 on my act.
i now have to make an entirely new college list because of these exams. ****e.
what colleges would accept these grades to be their standard?
and, should i retake the sat and the act again?</p>
<p>retake ACT</p>
<p>how very nice stephennn… there’s a reason the thread is called what it is.
-.-</p>
<p>what college are you going to?</p>
<p>Itt tech or Harvard?</p>
<p>I know a guy back in Maryland who had a 2100 and he got into Johns Hopkins full ride. SATs are not everything colleges look at. In fact, at the Yale conference I was invited to near the end of June, they said that SATs and grades are sometimes less important than having a really good essay and good teacher recommendations from teachers who really know you. That’s why I’m still deciding whether or not to retake my 2180. 2050 is pretty good. If you feel like you are lacking in the other “departments” I would recommend that you retake it. If you have a great package non-SAT wise, then don’t retake it and spend your time doing something more worthwhile. And another thing about undergraduate admissions is that if you plan on going to graduate school, your GPA in college is the most important thing. You wanna be a big fish in a small pond. You don’t want to go to say MIT, where I heard that it is brutal and it is very hard to keep a 4.0. Without a good GPA in undergrad, you can’t hope to get into a good graduate school and graduate school is what people see last and what people judge you by. If you don’t plan on going to graduate school, I would think about not wanting to be in debt after college. You want to go to a college that gives you a full ride, or at least half of it to minimize how much you have to pay yourself and how much your parents have to pay. That’s my 2 cents on this stuff.</p>
<p>But the stuff about debt is just me because my family is on the very low end of middle class. :(</p>
