<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>A coach from the St John's University (in New York, and the biggest catholic school in US) told to me that I need 1200 on the SAT! What do you guys think, do they count writing section or not? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think its without the writing section. But you never know; try making him sign a piece of paper that says you can get in with 1200 on the New SAT. Worth a try :P</p>
<p>That score might very well be with the new writing section.
There is a minimum score you need (by law!) to be allowed to participate in college athletics at all. It is 17 points on the ACT, but I don't know the equivalent SAT score.</p>
<p>Isn't 1200 from 2400 to low? :) Anyway I think you need minimum 820 points to be eligible for recruiting!</p>

<p>Finally, I'm not the only one on CC interested in St. John's. If the 1200 is out of 1600, I think that's the cutoff for the Honors College. It could very well be out of 2400 for athletic recruits though. Athletes aren't expected to be the smartest people in the world. The 1200/2400 cutoff could just be a way of making sure that the atletes recruited aren't dumb to the point of being brain-dead. And what b@r!um said before about the 17 ACT souds about right. I think that 17 ACT ~ 1200/2400 SAT.</p>
<p>Hi Hepstar. Thanks for the reply. I have talked to a woman (who knows the coach well) and she said that SJU has the "smartest" athletes in the conference (Big East).</p>
