<p>If your total SAT score is well over the average for a college (200 points or more) does it cease to give you any advantage in admissions? It seems to me that few enough people with those scores would be applying that a 2300 wouldn't distinguish you much more than a 2200 if the average score of accepted students is 1900. Are colleges looking at the score itself or how it compares to other applicants?</p>
<p>^ For the example you are talking about, then yes the 2200 is very sufficient. People that retake that on CC generally are aiming for a top 15 or so school. It all depends on where you want to go.</p>
