<p>Do colleges look down if they see a major score jump, of about 110 points (from a 2190-2300)? Or do they see this as a positive thing since it shows "determination" "effort" etc? </p>
<p>They use the higher score to admit you, right?</p>
<p>BTW, this is for schools like HYSPM, JHU, etc., since most kids need 2300+ to even be considered "competitive" haha :)
thanks!</p>

<p>That is not true, and quite misinformed. And... your question is a rhetorical question.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that they consider this a good thing. It means you wanted to improve, and you did! (Congrats on that.)</p>
<p>I think it can only help you.</p>
<p>I think it's obviously a good thing to get a 2300 the second time, but it's not as good as if you'd gotten a 2300 the first try and not bothered taking it again.</p>
<p>It's a good thing. A jump of 110 points isn't that much anyway.</p>
<p>sorry guys, belive me im not boasting or anything, and sorry if you thought that it was a rhetorical question Shifu Yoda, but i just wanted to be sure...</p>
<p>someone i know was recently asked by a univeristy to retake the SAT just to prove that he/she really did get that score because of his/her major score jump...i was just hoping that a jump of 100 points is not "major" enough to be asked for a retake by a college...:/ </p>
<p>thanks guys for your advice!</p>
<p>No way. Its undoubtetly good.</p>

<p>lol even with a 2300, just don't bother retaking it and start looking at the local community colleges. u need at least a 2500 for them to even think about considering about u. and yeah a major score difference is bad! they're looking for score differences within 50 points or less...so if you should try to score 2240 or below</p>
