<p>I know the average SAT score is above a 1300, but if I have a great school record, class rank, and GPA and everything else easily fits the requirements, will a 1300 cut my chances substantially?</p>
<p>Also does Emory take the scores from a single seating or do they superscore?</p>
<p>nah dude, go for it</p>
<p>superscore</p>
<p>It's definitely going to be a negative on your app, but depending on how much you wow them with your essay and ECs, you still have a shot. And yes, they superscore the SAT, but not the ACT (which if you are currently a junior and applying next year, you should definitely give a try.).</p>
<p>i would retake and aim for 1400</p>
<p>but if test taking is a weakness and ... say.... leadership... or music.... or something else is a major strength, then forget about it and just exploit your strength.</p>
<p>what?? are you kidding i think a 1300 is great *** are you guys talking about. if you have a great school record on top of it i think u have a great chance.</p>
<p>thanks for all of your input. I worked really hard to get my SAT where it is right now (this is my 3rd time and I got a 1060 my first time). I really don't know if I have it in me to take it another time. I am taking to ACT April 12th so we'll see how that goes.</p>
<p>I have worked really hard to have the best high school record I could possibly have and would hate to have my chances killed by a single test.</p>
<p>I have a 4.2 GPA, rank 7/250, president of key club and DECA, VP of NHS, and am in a couple other clubs --captain of the golf team. I am also the Vice President of the state for DECA. I have a part time job and volunteer and have an internship this summer. So i really have worked hard to be where I'm at right now and it would suck to put that to waste because of a test</p>
<p>thanks again for all of your opinions</p>
<p>Good luck (though I don't think you need it, lol). May the force be with you. :)</p>
<p>haha thanks i appreciate it</p>
<p>lets hope we all get admitted :)</p>
<p>Hey, I got in RD with a 1340 and a 3.7 GPA, so you have a good chance.</p>
<p>Oh, and I didn't take any SAT II's.</p>
<p>I managed to get in with a 1290 and hardly any extracurricular activities. So don't worry about it- you definitely have a chance. </p>
<p>(I'm still in shock that I was accepted, really.)</p>
<p>...1300 out of 2400??</p>
<p>Scores are the least important. You don't need to submit SATII scores to Emory, which is great if you plan on taking the ACT.</p>
<p>I got a 1470/1600 on my last crack at the SAT, but I only submitted a 36/36 ACT score to Emory. I suggest taking the ACT and submitting that as your only score if you do well enough on it.</p>
<p>im assuming you mean 1300/1600. that's what i got (2000/2400) and i was accepted (rdI) so you'll probably be fine. they focus more on gpa anyway. and make sure your essays are good. good luck!</p>
<p>yeah it's a 1300/1600 (only 1900/2400) -- the scores seem really average, but I really put hours of work to even get it there. There was just something about the SAT I couldn't handle I guess.
I'm anxious to see how the ACT turns out - I figured if I got a half decent score, Emory would see that it really only was the SAT (and I may not even send that if ACT is high enough) but I'm not banking on anything at this point.
Thanks everyone</p>
