<p>^ I hear ya man… exactly my point… am so glad someone expressed it so clearly… XP</p>
<p>thanks for the replies, guys! like the debate going on :)</p>
<p>the reason was that my cousin got 640CR/790W/800M and i wasn’t exactly sure what to say… though i do get that 710 on each section probably does look better.</p>
<p>If that’s the breakdown, then your cousin should definitely retake it. A 640 reading’s not awful by any stretch, but it’s below average for the Ivy’s and most of the comparable schools. Plus he only has to improve that one section.</p>
<p>At the very least he should look into doing some practice work this summer and figure out if he can raise his CR or if he’s capped out.</p>
<p>2230 is on the lower side for Ivy’s. In order to make sure your score will not be an issue, get at least a 2250. It’s only 20 more points and if you super score, it’ll probably be really easy to get that 2250.</p>
<p>Goodluck</p>
<p>I’d retake it, just to get that CR above 700. After that your fine</p>
