<p>I scored 1850 on my SAT. What do you think about that score? Thanks :)</p>
<p>It has four digits, it's divisible by 37, and it cooks a mean omelette.</p>
<p>Columbia has certainly accepted a small minority of applicants with an SAT score in the neighborhood of yours, but I guarantee the AdComs constantly reject students with much higher.</p>
<p>Yes, it's true, but I'll do my best to get a higher SAT Reasoning Test score. </p>
<p>And I have one more question - is it possible to take two SAT Subject Tests on one day? And what do you think - is the schedule for SAT Subject Tests gonna be the same for a.y. 2006-2007?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>you can take up to THREE sat IIs in one day if you heart so desires!</p>
<p>and i applaud your 1850.
Its SO hard to predict anything
when it comes to Ivys.</p>
<p>Wall Street Journal featured a girl who had similar SAT scores to yours but was a Tuba player, therefore a shoe in to Penn.</p>
<p>Remember that "so hard to predict" doesn't raise your chances of getting in. Columbia is characteristically not afraid of rejecting people with 2250+ SAT scores. Though standardized tests are just a fraction of the whole picture, the higher the score is always the better. Don't get me wrong: 1850 is a good score, much higher than the national average, but to put things into perspective, the majority of Columbia admits have SAT's 300+ points higher.</p>
<p>yeah. whether your score is good or bad depends on which group you're comparing it to. to be a competitive applicant in the columbia pool, your score is really too low. check out their average sat scores, and aim to get scores at least above their middle to be competitive.</p>
<p>that doesnt help shroomin, just because your at a state college, and "shroomin" all the time, doesnt mean milo has too...</p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>To be seriously considered by a school like Columbia with an 1850, you'll need to have extracurriculars that blow them away.</p>
<p>It's a bad score for Columbia, but it was my first SAT and I'm taking another in June and I've been preparing for that one, so we'll see :)</p>
<p>shroomin. Why are you so malicious in all your posts that I've read? The guy wants some advice. Ever think of other people besides yourself?</p>
<p>If you can bump that 1850 to a 2100 (which is definitely possible), you will be in a much better place, especially if you apply early.</p>
<p>I was thinking of applying early, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, because I'm taking my SAT Subject Tests in October and I guess that there won't be time for them to send my scores to the University. How long does it take for the College Board to send scores?</p>
<p>shroomin, thanks for the smiley advice. I'll do that :)</p>
<p>miloshm-
October test results ALWAYS get to colleges on time for Early Action or Early Decision consideration. You can send scores from as late as November to most schools and still be in time! If you take them in November, though, it's a good idea to list the college as a recipient when you register online--that way, they get the results at the same time as you. But if you're taking the tests in October, you can choose to send the scores only after you yourself have seen how well you did, and you'll still be fine for ED consideration! Good luck!</p>
<p>chopsticks3092, thank you very much. I feel much better now, because I wasn't sure if the results would come on time. Thanks!</p>
