i was just wondering the importance of SAT scores at these colleges: Dartmouth, Pomona, Claremont Mckenna, UVA. Disregarding the rest of the applications because i feel pretty comfortable, how does a 1400 (720M, 680V) look?
<p>SAT scores are incredibly important at Dartmouth (where I go)... arguably THE most important factor. A lot more applicants have very high GPAs than very high test scores, although many have both.</p>
<p>A 1400 is a very good score, obviously, and you should be fine. Particularly at Claremont McKenna.</p>
<p>SAT's are important, but it depends on so many other factors. In other words, they don't get you in, but they can certain get you out. A 1400 won't get you out...but your acceptance will hinge on your essay and other academic factors as well</p>
<p>Agreed EncomiumII. I always get the feeling that the tests "qualifies" an applicant. But then, the ECs, essays, school grades, blah blah blah, is what keeps him/her out or gets him/her in.</p>
