I would say yes, for sure.

You are smack dab in the middle of the 25/75 (of those who submit) so it’s a no brainer - to me.

While 1520 is a great score, whether or not you should submit it depends on the relative strength of your overall application as compared to the test score, as well as the relative strength of your application as compared to other applicants from your school, area, demographic, etc. No one here has that information, so no one here is going to be able to give you an informed opinion on the question. I strongly suggest you speak to your college counselor.

The sum of Brown’s mid points is ~1500, so I’d certainly submit a 1520.

Your score of 1520 is great IMHO….

This question makes me sad for all you students out there :sleepy:……the stress of applications and focus on test scores is so much for young people……just because it is so, or has been for years, doesn’t mean it is right. Something just seems so wrong.

Yes. A 1520 is great anywhere. It will not detract from your application anywhere, and would help everywhere. The rest of your application is what will make or break you.

I would totally submit it! That’s a great score and puts you above average in Brown’s application pool

Here is something that might be good to know.
Your kiddo might not have a choice about the scores being submitted, IF they attended certain pre-college programs. My kiddo attended 2 pre-college programs for the past 2 summers. Both required applications and SAT scores. Unbeknown to us (maybe I missed the fine print), the schools automatically submitted the SAT scores over to the undergraduate admissions folks through a shared server. So, even through we did not request or pay for a new score report to be sent with the undergrad application, the colleges received the SAT’s from 10th and 11th grade sittings. :exploding_head: :nauseated_face: :grimacing:

We feel that there was not enough info about the fact that the scores you send in as a naive 10th grader to be considered for their summer program may also be used in your college application. Buyer beware.
