<p>I know people say that there is no minimum SAT score for any college but what would u guys say is the SAT score Cornell will be looking at?</p>
<p>i think 1300</p>
<p>really? That would be like a 1950 on the new SAT... I would say more like a 2100+</p>
<p>Of course, everything is relative... if you have a bad GPA and EC's, obviously your scores will need to be higher, and if you have a spotless app except for SAT's, they'll give you more leeway.</p>
<p>2100 seems doable ...thanks</p>
<p>it depends on your other stats. perfect GPA, great ECs, other hooks like legacy, interview or portfolio for some schools will "make up for" a below average GPA.</p>
<p>The median is probably around 700 per section, with writing being less important.</p>
<p>Well I was just giving a minimum score that you could get in with I think a good 2150 would be a solid score to get but should aim for 2200+ if possible. My combined is 2290 and I want to go to Cornell</p>
<p>when they say no min they mean no min. the other things you bring to the college can make up for (or a lack of them can be made up by) your SAT score.</p>
<p>Posting your admissions profile lets us see a wholistic view of you and make our estimates on where you stand.</p>
<p>Well as far as that 1300 is concerned, that is more likely to be Math + CR rather than a conversion (ie. Math + CR + W -> Old SAT). The writing section isn't as important as the others (at least that's what is seems like).</p>
<p>yeah, until colleges have seen a few years of writing scores and get a feel for what kind of indicator of success the score is, they're not going to put too much weight on it. (source: NY Times)</p>
The Cornell site says it doesn’t look at the writing scores at all. It requires close to 750 in sat maths and 720 in CR. it gives a lot of importance to the essays and recommendations. And the GPA is extremely important. If your application lists a lot of extra curricular activities then they would be big help. By the way you didn’t state if you are an international citizen of us citizen
I got in through regular decision with a 2060. Don’t stress too much about the SAT as long as it’s above 2000, just make sure your activities, grades, and essays are really high
