<p>it's a really good score! a lot of colleges weigh the SAT II's more than SAT I anyway.</p>
<p>Which colleges weight the SAT II more than the SAT I?</p>
<p>I know the UC's do...and I think the Pomona admissions officer I talked to said they'll overlook a not so great SAT I score for now since it's new, but the SAT II's haven't changed. Brandeis said something like that too...</p>
<p>sorry I should've said "some colleges" not "a lot" >.<</p>
<p>I retook a 2220 and scored a 2330. Does it really make sense that 2220's should be allowed to retake and not 2260's, permitting the 2220's to pass them up? Of course not. If you can do better, retake. The only exception to this would be if you have already taken the SAT 3x. After 3x call it quits.</p>
<p>People are starting to say 3x is too many now. I've heard 2x max.</p>
<p>is this like an official limit or just tradition?</p>
<p>I don't think 3x is too many. Most colleges list enough spaces for 3.</p>
<p>Would you guys retake a 2200 with 760 verbal, 640 math, 800 writing? I'm worried about the math, but I'm not that good at math anyway so I'm not sure if I should.</p>
<p>Many students find SAT I math the easiest score to improve.</p>
<p>For the OP, I don't recommend taking it again.</p>
<p>1) Your 800 CR could go down.
2) Colleges look at score ranges in addition to scores themselves, and they know sometimes kids perform better or worse than their capabilities. Thus as long as your score ranges are good (which they are!) you're fine.
3) You don't want to look like an OCD, (SAT) perfectionist freak.
4) For the old SAT, ivies just cared about basically 1500+. The equivalent of 1500 is now 2250, and your scores aren't terribly lopsided, so you're fine.</p>
<p>Great job on that 800 CR!</p>
<p>2260? are you kidding me?</p>
<p>640 math isn't exactly special.</p>
<p>I think you can easily raise that math score. Then you would be golden.</p>
<p>Okay, I will. Thanks!</p>
<p>That is the dumbest thing ive ever heard, TOP colleges will accept an applicant with a 2260 ANY DAY, depending on the applicants ECs. If you are one of those people who think you need 2350+ to get into an ivy league school, then you are a moron</p>
<p>scallops, there's no need to call anyone a moron. okay so it may be neurotic, but it's perfectly normal. college=panic for many. insults really don't help.</p>
<p>I agree. There's no need to insult anyone.</p>
<p>Oh, but scallops knows it all. He's got his 2090 in the bag.</p>
<p>""2260 is good enough to get you into the top most schools"</p>
<p>Dream on."</p>
<p>Actually, he is right. After the 50th percentile SAT makes little difference in your application. That 2260 meets around the 75th percentile for nearly every Ivy so there is no problem with that.</p>
<p>Good job on your test BTW</p>
<p>People who say it makes little difference are misinformed. The correlation between admission and ever higher test scores (and class rank) is positive, if less than 1.0. On the other hand, if each of your SAT I scores, individually, exceeds a college's 75th percentile on the common data set, worry about something else.</p>
