SAT II midranges for P'ton

<p>What are they like? Does anyone know?</p>

<p>I'm guessing in the mid 700's</p>

<p>darn...that sucks for me...
1350(660V,690M)
680 IIC
hoping for about 730 or so in Physics
hopefully 750 + in writing. </p>

<p>what will be ur first reaction if u were an adcom?</p>

<p>Couldn't tell ya dude. :p
I would say that your SAT I is on the low range, but since I know you have some great extracurriculars, it should be fine.</p>

<p>You're a tossup like everyone else.</p>

<p>From the Princeton Common Data Set for 2003-2004: </p>

<p><a href="http://registrar1.princeton.edu/data/common/cds2003.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://registrar1.princeton.edu/data/common/cds2003.pdf&lt;/a> </p>

<p>Percent submitting SAT scores 100% </p>

<p>For enrolled students, </p>

<p>25th Percentile on SAT I Verbal 680; 75th Percentile 770</p>

<p>25th Percentile on SAT I Math 690; 75th Percentile 790 </p>

<p>71 percent of freshmen scored above 700 on verbal, and 73 percent of them on math. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>hm. thanks guys. btw. im an international. thatl hurt me, right?</p>

<p>it doesn't really help or hurt being an international. i'll try to put it this way:</p>

<p>help: you're excused for a low SAT verbal score. hurt: places for internationals extremely limited.</p>

<p>For the American,
help: most of the places for Americans. hurt: the SAT and ECs gotta be freakin powerful.</p>

<p>I would think that scores are seen more as a prerequisite than anything else. One must have a reasonably high score, but once it passes a certain point, it doesn't play a role anymore. (i.e., a 1580 won't significantly aid your application more than a 1480). But, I could be wrong on this --- it's not as if I've made it in to college, so who knows what the adcoms think. :p</p>

<p>well, i think a 1580 is way different than a 1480, but i doubt a 1580 is much better than a 1540</p>

<p>its because the score drops steeply when you miss between 1 and 2 questions, but not as steeply if you miss between 7 and 8</p>

<p>~750 for SAT 2's are probably the average</p>

<p>My guess would be mid-700's for the II's and over 1500 is a good thing for SAT I's (at least, that's what my CC says...)</p>

<p>when you all talk of SAT scores, i feel suicidal.</p>

<p>no alyssa, it's a net negative</p>

<p>ok. i know i sound like the typical whining idiot asking for "what do you think about my stats" but seriously, what would you think is necessary to balance out lower range SAT scores?</p>

<p>The ability to throw a football on a rope for 60 yards.</p>

<p>That would just about do it.</p>

<p>So true =)
Or the ability to run like Forest Gump ;-)</p>

<p>Yep. That white boy sure could run.</p>
