question about college admissions/SAT score

<p>are colleges going to be more leniant towards class of 2010 SAT scores?? What have you all heard?</p>

<p>I don't think it is the question of whether or not it will be more lenient from one year to another year. The admissions chances would be based upon the scores of others (and of course the whole application) that are applying to that same university/college that you are applying to.</p>

<p>exactly my thinking. but at the same time it might be looked into less because I have a feeling the admissions people are going to be confused by scores being all over the place. Just moving the scale of a great score from 1400-1600 to 2150-2400 is probably too much for their little brains to comprehend. They are gonna see more variation and be like whattawhatt.</p>

<p>I actually think they'll just break all the SAT1/SAT2 scores down into the 200-800 scores and then be like ... 3 750+ scores .. nice! .. 2 700+ scores.. ok.. 1 650+ score.. hmm</p>

<p>Numbers are obviously going to vary for school but you get the general idea.</p>

<p>I'm praying that for the engineering schools they will look at my 800's on math for sat1 and sat2 2c and completely ignore my cr/writing scores. hmm engineering kids don't need english/communication skills anyways(im praying thats wut they do cept not!)</p>

<p>hah yeah thast how i feel..im applying for engineering....and i got 780 in sat I math..Havent taken the 2 c yet..but hopefully 750++!
engineering def doesnt need reading..lol</p>

<p>Yes, engineering schools will generally give some leeway for critical reading/writing scores (exceptions are Caltech and MIT, where you have to be strong at everything and preferably extraordinary in math/science) if a student is strong at math. The critical reading and math are roughly comparable to the old SAT, so I think those two areas will be the focus for adcoms. That way, they can have a uniform way of comparing students who took either the old or the new SAT. The writing score should be close to critical reading and math, but other than that I don't see how adcoms could make crucial decisions on a test that hasn't been proven yet and is not really the SAT II Writing.</p>
