new york regents exams

<p>do selective colleges factor regents exam scores into their admissions processes? Such as having scores in the high 90s being an advantageous for your transcript.</p>

<p>I'm no official on this, but I'm from New York and a rising senior, and the way I see it, the regents scores don't count for much other than your final grades in the classes that they pertain to. I can't imagine OOS schools caring about them at all.</p>

<p>But a second opinion would be useful in this case. :)</p>

<p>if u get above a 90 on all of them then you get an advanced diploma with honors and superior resignation or something like that...</p>

<p>and all colleges will see you have that special diploma that only people who scored 90 and above on all required and extra regents</p>

<p>Since the largest number of students applying to elite colleges are from NY, MA, and CA, the colleges are very familiar with the state exams (NYS regents exams). </p>

<p>Like the SATs the colleges will look at the regents in context to yoru grade in the class (even though they know that there are some schools that "don't teach" to the exam. those schools will usually state it on their transcript). If a student gets a 90 in the class and a 70 on the regents, it will raise a flag.</p>

<p>It has been my experience that students accepted to elite schools wil have a complete package: strong grades, strong regents scores, strong SAT/ACT scores and it is not unusal for them to graduate with Advanced regents/ regents honors diplomas.</p>
