Retake 2300?

<p>Hello CCers,</p>

<p>I just checked my June SAT score online; I am glad that I superscored 2380(CR780, M800, W800), which is nice, but my highest single sitting is only 2300 (CR780, M760, W760). I'm planning to apply to Ivy leauge schools, and as some top schools including HYP request to send all scores, compartively low single sitting score has become quite a concern for me.</p>

<p>Do top schools "really" consider only the top scores, not looking other low single sitting scores...? Please help, and I promise I'll help you back! Thanks!</p>

<p>No matter if they consider only the top scores or not, once you get to a 2300 (some will also argue that the threshold is lower), SAT won’t really make the difference. </p>

<p>There’s a very slim chance that they’ll get someone so similar to you that they’d need to use the SAT to break the tie. Look through decision threads, and you’ll see that quite a few have gotten into Yale and other Ivy League schools with scores lower than a 2300. And the fact that your superscore is 2380 means you’re very capable. At this point, don’t worry about the SAT I any longer.</p>

<p>“only” 2300 is about 100 points above what is considered “really” good score for any college.</p>

<p>Thanks besjobo and itsme! It really helped me a lot!</p>

<p>From a guy who used to be in your boat - I retook a 2350 - don’t do it. Don’t over think these things; they’re convinced you’re in the ballpark with a 2300 single-sitting and a 2380 superscored. Move on.</p>
