SAT Superscore?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>So I took the SAT two times. The first time I got a 2160, and the second time I got a 2170. My superscore, however, is a 2250.</p>

<p>I know this is a little low, especially since i am Asian and it's Princeton.</p>

<p>As the deadline approaches, I can't help but beat myself up for not taking it again to get my superscore above a 2300.</p>

<p>Also, will the fact that my single sittings are both less than 2200 affect me at all?</p>

<p>Someone, PLEASE console me in this difficult, stressful time.</p>

<p>Also, I applied SCEA. And my essays were damn well the best things I've ever written.</p>

<p>Just because you’re Asian you feel compelled to raise your SAT superscore a mere 50 points?</p>

<p>You trolls get worse every time admissions rolls around.</p>

<p>My friend got accepted the other day. Asian 2250. Don’t worry.</p>

<p>Considering that there’s not much you can do about it anymore, I wouldn’t stress about it. Just hope everything else was enough. SAT isn’t the only part of the application! :)</p>

<p>AZOG11 I am curious where your “friend” got accepted since admissions decisions at Princeton are not released until Dec 15.</p>

<p>^ Questbridge. One of my closest friend got accepted to princeton.</p>

<p>Your friend must be thrilled. </p>

<p>Everyone who’d still waiting…big breath, stay busy, try not to count minutes…</p>

<p>My friend got into Princeton via Questbridge too! So lucky!</p>

<p>Questbridge applicants go through an entirely different admissions process - comparing a QB applicant with a regular with applicant that have similar stats/ethnicity does prove much.</p>

<p>I myself have a superscore of 2270. But look at the CommonApp - that’s what your adcoms are going to see. There is no CommonApp slot for ‘total highest score’, only highest section. I think your main concern should be whether or not you have a respectable breakdown. Having 740-750+ in each section (CR included!) is much more desirable with a 2250 than having a 2300 with two high and one mediocre section.</p>
