<p>Are you in-state for VA? Note that fin aid at W&M for OOS will be poor (may be poor for VA as well), but that you have a guaranteed transfer option to W&M through Richard Bland.</p>
<p>Am I missing something? How is a 97.31/100 GPA not good enough? Isn’t that an A+ average.</p>
<p>^ That’s the Weighted GPA and the 2000 SAT is at the bottom of accepted students.</p>
<p>@GingeroftheWeb is your SAT 2000 or 1840? I think you’ve posted both and it really will make a big difference if people are to help you.</p>
<p>I got 1840 freshman year and 2000 on the May test this past year. I’ve been using both in posts because I’m a little confused about super scores. Can I just switch around the scores for the best one? or do I have to address each SAT separately? </p>
<p>@GingeroftheWeb but you’ve posted three different scores in the last 6 days… 1840, 2000, 2050. If you want to differentiate, say “2000 in one sitting” or “2050 super scored”. That will help when people try to answer you. By saying I got 1840 and hope to do better next time it makes it seem as if the 2000 appeared out of nowhere…and now the 2050 pops up… So…what is the real score?</p>
<p>“I know my college application essays don’t compare to the ones I’ve read online from last year’s accepted students.”</p>
<p>where did you get essays from last year’s students? I would like to know if my essay writing is too poor</p>
<p>Not sure if UPenn uses super scoring (not all schools do), but essentially it works like this:</p>
<p>I take the SAT twice, and get the following scores:</p>
<p>SAT 1: R:600 M:600 W:600 Total:1800</p>
<p>SAT 2: R:500 M:650 W:650 Total:1800</p>
<p>With superscoring, a college will evaluate it as:</p>
<p>Superscored SAT: R:600 M:650 W:650 Total: 1900</p>
<p>So you take the best section scores from across all of your SATs and put them together to get a superscore. </p>
<p>Schools will say on their website whether they practice superscoring, and some schools will specify that they will take the highest single sitting SAT, so if I received an 1800 and an 1830 the next time, I would be able to submit only the 1830, but I would not be able to add up the parts from both tests. </p>
<p>Hopefully that was helpful! Lol</p>

<p>Penn requires submission of ALL test scores. They probably superscore, but it also looks like they want to know your testing history</p>
<p>How would you know if you don’t try? </p>
