<p>Hey guys, I took the SAT 1 in May 2013 and I got the score 2290. I'm thinking about applying to maybe a couple of Ivies. Do you think it's a safe score, considering its closeness to 2300, or should I take it again in October?</p>
<p>It’s good enough.</p>
<p>no you shouldn’t.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. It’s just such an awkward score.</p>
<p>What’s the breakdown? M: 800, W:800, CR: 690 = retake. But if you’re rocking a 760, 760, 770, that’s plenty good.</p>
<p>Retake it. You’ll need at least 2410.</p>
<p>CR: 750, M: 800, W: 740. Is that a solid breakdown? I feel like I could improve a lot in writing. And you’re funny drexter.</p>
<p>That’s a perfectly good score for Ivies. Getting a better score wouldn’t be of much help.</p>
<p>Don’t bother, try to get awesome score on subject tests instead</p>
<p>How many times have you taken it? If this was your first, def take it again, you’ll improve a lot</p>
<p>Spend your time on things that make your application truly stand out. Admissions officers want to admit people, not numbers.</p>
<p>Is this another ■■■■■ post? Move on to better things in life- there is a lot more to college admissions than a phenomenal test score.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for the suggestions! This was my first time taking it, so I think I’ll take it just one more time. I already took and did well on my subject tests.</p>
<p>
this better be a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>dude. DUDE. don’t do it. seriously, you’re well into the 2200+ realm, getting a higher score really isn’t going to help you. devote your time to better things.</p>
<p>“A for Admission” is seriously outdated. That’s been discussed on CC before</p>
<p>Depends on which ivies and if you’re public/private and if you’re asian/non-asian. If you’re a public school asian going for HYP go for that 2350+. If you’re going for lower tier ivies what you have is acceptable but since it’s your first time and you don’t mind it’s worth a shot going for a higher score. But do of course focus on other things if your application is weaker in other areas.</p>
