International SAT scores

<p>Oh, sorry Emils! I automatically typed it in when I saw “Math”. I’ve edited the list.
800 in Math I is very impressive btw! Even more impressive than 800 in Math II, I’d say.</p>

<p>I thought it would have been kinda unfair if I just put 560 without an explanation. lol</p>

<p>Don’t the numbers look beautiful?</p>

<p>Just received my TOEFL scores in the mail, 667 total and a 6.0 TWE (yay!)</p>

<p>I’d say that only the most qualified internationals would come to CC, so the list’s not exactly representative of the international applicant pool as a whole.</p>

<p>@letsshakehands
WUT? Your country still administrates PBT TOEFL? What’s the TWE, btw? I think I got 673 on my mock-PBT.</p>

<p>@Herunar
Yes, of course. I guess this needs to be mentioned now and then to prevent some people from being discouraged. I remember being really depressed when I came to CC before I got my scores. lol</p>

<p>Yeah, that is probably true Herunar, one guy I knew from my sportclub applied to the obligatory HYPSM (nowhere else!) last year. His grades were astounding, but he didn’t know a lot about the application process, so he had no extra-curricular activities, wrote resumes as essays and had a 1700 on the SAT. I felt pretty bad for him, because he really smart and nice, but didn’t have a clue how to prepare. Without CC my application would probably have been ridiculous!</p>

<p>I believe more than 90 % of the Danish population has access to broadband internet, but we still administer the PBT TOEFL. It’s really a mess sending scores to colleges through mail and not being able to use the online gateway. I hope we modernise things a bit soon, this is almost embarrassing… </p>

<p>The TWE is a “Test of Written English”. In reality it’s almost the same as the SAT essay but with a more specific prompt.</p>

<p>@letsshakehands
I wouldn’t be embarrassed. PBT seems to be more objective in that it doesn’t have the highly subjective speaking and writing parts. I’m rather jealous of you because I do much better on the PBT. 113 vs 673 do not correlate as much as I’d like them to.</p>

<p>@Bilguun
I don’t know much about how the tests correlate, but my main problem is the way scores are handled after the test. I’ve received my scores by mail more than two weeks after they were released (compare that to the SAT’s immediate access) and have no clue whether the score recipients i faxed (compare that to Collegeboard’s online choice) have been notified. Also, 17 $ is a ripoff for additional score reports, I’m incredibly happy I only had to send two. It isn’t that much of a problem, but compared to Collegeboard’s solution and even the Common App this feels incredibly outdated.</p>

<p>Oh, well, I understand. Btw, it’s 17$ to send iBT scores too, and I had to send them to 10 schools! 170! Now, that’s what I call rrrrip offf.</p>

<p>had a 120 toefl if you are including them. YAAY I have the lowest CR score:P</p>

<p>I have a 120 TOEFL too, but I can’t include it, which is pretty annoying! </p>

<p>Oh and, I know people who got into really good uni’s with lower CR scores!</p>

<p>haha yeah my brother had a 590 for cr, a 620 for wr and a 730 for math, he got into cornell, so im praying that the same will happen for me:P</p>

<p>why cant you include it btw?</p>

<p>Kay, I’ll throw my scores in the pool, because I just submitted most of my apps and I need to do something.</p>

<p>SAT I: 800CR/730M/ 780W
SAT II: 800 Maths II, 800 Lit, 730 Maths I</p>

<p>Because I got the scores longer than two years ago, after which you aren’t allowed to submit them anymore.</p>

<p>Where your brothers other stats really good?</p>

<p>well his grades were less than mine, I guess ec’s the same and for his essays he did the same as what you told about the guy with the resumes. He got rejected from 8 schools, but got into brown and cornell. Guess they really wanted dutch people:P</p>

<p>oh wow! That is actually really encouraging then! (His scores are still good, but I was afraid he might backed them up with lie published research projects or a 9.7 average or something!). I am actually a bit less stressed out now, because I thought it was near-impossible to get into any of the top schools!</p>

<p>I know, and I dont think I will get accepted actually into HYP stanford etc. Cornell seems do-able for me though. So i’ll just hope they will like me:)</p>

<p>Well, I am sure you have a great chance at any of the schools you listed, and especially at Cornell with the sort-of legacy status. Are you applying for financial aid?</p>
