<p>Regents......:(
Have 3 questions about it
1.Do colleges see your regents grades?or all they see is pass/fail?
2.Do colleges look at your regents grade alot?Or they simply dont care(as long as you have good gpa and sat)?
3.If you took regents more than once(because you failed the first time obviously)will that really matter to them?</p>
<p>bump…</p>

<li>On my transcript it has the actual number.</li>
<li>A lot of the New York schools will look at Regents. I went to a college fair on Friday and most of the SUNYs and the representative from Macaulay said Regents are the next important factor after grades & SATs. </li>
<li>I’m not sure. :(</li>
</ol>
<p>Your high school transcript will show your Regents exam grades. SUNYs indeed pay attention to the Regents scores and they will play a role in admissions. Some of the private colleges IN New York State will also use the Regents exam scores in evaluating candidates for admission, while others disregard the Regents. </p>
<p>Virtually no college outside of NYS (I said virtually, not NONE) gives a second thought to the Regents, unless there is an extreme disconnect between the Regents score and your final grade (an “A” student, for example, getting a 66 on the exam might prompt a question or two).</p>
<p>Frankly, the Regents exams have been so watered down by the political class in their quest to make a Regents Diploma a universal HS graduation requirement that it is not viewed as a serious measure of one’s readiness for college. In my opinion, if you can’t get at least a “B” on a Regents exam you probably need a year or two of remedial ed before considering a 4-year college.</p>
<p>I hear it’s not necessary for schools like Cornell or Columbia either, since they would rather not make New York students a category of their own. Same with NYU.</p>
<p>^No, Cornell considers the Regents. I asked them specifically.</p>
<p>oh no…i got a 76 on my Physics and Spanish regents… 
and I only got like 80s on the rest of them. (except for my 90 or 97 on my Eng and US history regents). Is it going to hurt?</p>
