<p>So most of here agree that test scores are NOT that important. They are of some significance, but not make or break your application.</p>
<p>^Oh no, test scores are extremely important and will “make or break” application, so to speak. We’re only saying that high test scores are no guarantee for college acceptances.</p>

<p>@ sstewart, most of these schools have crapshot admissions anyway. If you dont have the score to START with, you are immidietly inches from the trash pile. Only URM, legacys, and great hooks can keep you in the game at the top 15 schools with subpar SAT scores. Universities constantly say that they believe this is a good way to gauge how well students will do. Like it or not that’s how it is.</p>
<p>Ok let me change my wording. Test scores are important, but not THAT important as some people make it, like the people who retake a 2360 or 34 thinking that a higher school will give them a better chance. And I will agree that test scores can make or break your application.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say they are EXTREMELY important as the above poster said however.</p>
