Also, (asking for a friend) you can still apply and have a chance to get in even if you got 1170 on the new SAT but have a gpa of 4.1444 right?
There’s no strict cut off on the SAT scores! Even if the score is below the “average” they report, you can still have a chance!
Also, your chances sound pretty good grades/score wise, you didn’t mention anything about extra curriculars, APs or awards but the academic aspect sounds solid.
Your background may help set off the SAT score. If you’re particularly poor and live a hard life then I don’t think it would hurt as badly.
Much is considered. Read the founder’s letter; it’s long. Better SATs mean better chances, but great essays, strong grades, financial hurdles and demonstrated character might offset even a very low score.
