IB Fairly Low SAT Score

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm currently in IB1 (that's a Junior in the American system) and i'm a fairly good student, I mean I am currently on 39 points out of 42 - that's a 7 in all subjects a 6 in Languages (Swahili) and a 5 in literature. So for those of you who don't know, a 7 is an A plus, 6 is an A and 5 a B. I'm currently ranked third in my whole grade. My subjects are Higher Level Chemistry, Biology and Economics and Standard Math, Literature and Swahili. I am very proud of my IB scores, however, I just received my SAT scores and achieved 1550. I am so incredibly bummed! I wanted to apply to NYU, Cornell, Standford and Duke. Are my chances slim to none? or do the SATs not weigh so much? or should I re-take them?</p>

<p>Re- take them!!! Some of my friends did poorly on their 1st sat because of nerves, chance etc. When they took them again most did much better. It’s worth the time.</p>

<p>Try Brandeis instead… in which case do not send the SAT.</p>
