Sat and stanford

College Search & Selection

<p>I just took today's SAT and I feel as though I totally messed up....</p>

<p>Predicted scores:</p>

<p>(I used College Board scaled score converter)</p>

<p>Math: 710
Reading: 620
Writing: 650</p>

<p>That is definitely not my best! </p>

<p>Questions:</p>

<p>DOES Stanford care how many times I take the SAT, (i.e. more than 3 times)?
I have excellent GPA and extra cirrics, but this SAT is bringing me down...</p>

<p>Tips?
Chance me please!</p>

<p>I’d imagine so, Stanford has made it known that they want to see all your scores and do not want applicants to use Score Choice.</p>

<p>To be competitive at Stanford without a hook, you’d need over 250 more points, which is pretty tough to achieve when you’ve already taken it more than once. </p>

<p>It’s probably a better idea to focus your energy now on writing really great applications for schools you have a better chance at.</p>

<p>Well actually I have only taken the test one, but I’d imagine that my score isnt going to change much…
I feel though that I have some great background, but I dont know that that could cover for my lagging SAT score…</p>

<p>But yes I do understand, hmom5, I guess I am just going to have to stree my app for UC schools such as UCLA and UC Berkley…and some other UCs</p>

<p>The only thing that can help a low score is being a recruitable athlete or URM.</p>

<p>You’ve got a couple more test dates for RD, have you tried a tutor?</p>
