Now I'm Worried

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I've been looking through other threads on the forum, and I've seen that people with scores above 2300 are being advised to retake the test.</p>

<p>My score was a 2250.
CR- 790
CW- 690
M- 770
Composite- 1560</p>

<p>My top choices for colleges at this point in time are:</p>

<p>Stern in NYU
UC Berkeley
Tepper in Carnegie Melon
Emory
Notre Dame
Cornell
Georgetown</p>

<p>I'm weak ec wise, so I'm playing heavily on test scores, a somewhat decent gpa (3.85-3.89), and my class ranking in the top 8%. Should I retake the test for a betterr score?</p>

<p>UC Berkeley and Cornell I know you have a chance in. And 3.85-3.89 UW is also good enough too.</p>

3

<p>Don’t be too intimidated by alternative individuals. I think that those scores will suffice.</p>

4

<p>Cornell only looks at reading/math and a 1560 is extremely impressive. You should be good.</p>

5

<p>Everyoneon here was way higher scores than me</p>

6

<p>*everyone on *has not was.
On my iPhone so can’t edit</p>

<p>lol no they don’t…</p>

<p>I think the average of the scores people post over here is well over 2000…It’s strange…maybe it’s only the high scorers who are serious enough about studying to want to be on a forum to discuss their academic concerns, and the few relatively low scorers simply intimidated by the overachieving CC demographic and choose not to contribute…waah I don’t know lol…this is probably something about CC everyone wonders about</p>

9

<p>Are the scores here on CC representative of all the applicants to good colleges? Everyone here has crazy high scores.</p>

10

<p>I’m pretty sure. For Cornell, there are few who got in with a 600+ for only one section. However, most got in with 700+ on both CR and math.</p>

11

<p>Ah, alright.</p>

<p>You have a good score. Writing isn’t weighted nearly as heavily as CR and math. 1560/1600 is fine for those universities I think. I would work on your EC’s if possible. This forum is pretty crazy. I scored a 2330 in march (780 CR / 770 math / 780 writing), but I would never consider retaking a 2300+. Colleges will reject you for your lack of EC’s, not your 2250 score.</p>
