<p>What's a good SAT score for the top BBs, like GS and MS? 2000? 2100? 2200? 2300? 2350?</p>
<p>Generally speaking, I don’t recommend publishing anything lower than a combined 2100 on your resume. Anything north of a 2000 is a good score, anything above a 2100 is worthy of being included on a resume, and anything north of a 2200 is great. </p>

<p>I learned about this phenomenon very recently. I’m still baffled. Don’t SAT scores become worthless after two years?</p>
<p>^ Two years after they are taken or two years after you have entered the field?</p>
<p>After they are taken. I mean, I would understand why they’d like to see them on a sophomore intern’s resume, but why would they care after that?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, SAT scores do count until you get to B school (or have at least taken the GMAT after a few years of WE), and then the GMAT becomes the standardized test of choice. Just to give you some sort of a point of reference - I knew a few analysts who were applying to P/E shops and some of those P/E shops still wanted to know their SAT scores - granted, they hadn’t taken the GMAT, but still, this is several years out of U Grad.</p>
<p>That said, they aren’t a make or break thing - just a simple tool to weed out some people and check a box. In other words, I wouldn’t recommend running out and retaking the SAT as a junior in u grad, but it doesn’t hurt to have a pretty good score.</p>

<p>^Thank you.</p>
<p>Do they just trust the score you report or do you actually need to show them official scores?</p>
<p>Usually they trust you. It is very rare that they’d ask for it, although I know of a few instances (not the norm) when they have asked students fresh out of U Grad. Once you get a few years out of UGrad, even if they ask for it, they would just take your word for it.</p>
