Low SAT, high IB predicted score?

<p>How important are SATs? I got a 1890... and many people have been saying that my chances at top schools are close to zero. Can a high IB predicted score make up for that? (Along with "strong" extracurriculars, recommendations, etc?</p>

<p>No, not really. You need a strong SAT score to apply. Unless you have extremely strong EC’s, your chances are low.</p>
