<p>How important are your SAT scores in landing an investment banking job? Is there a cutoff? If so what would the cutoff be for many of the major investment banks? Will an SAT score be used solely to determine whether you get an interview or will it actually be taken into account in evaluating the applicant? How is it weighed with other factors?</p>
<p>I've read some conflicting claims regarding the answers to these questions. If anyone here who's actually in IB or who has gone through the process can shed light on this, it would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Some banks like Lehman brothers explicitly ask for SAT scores. Otherwise, you can just leave your SAT score off after your soph year of college, when your experience can carry you through. Experience easily trumps any other category: a 3.9 (college) GPA is probably not as valuable as a finance internship a previous summer. Ping me if you have questions.</p>
<p>Firms will ask you SAT scores sometimes, but there's certainly no such thing as a cutoff. I would put SAT on the resume if it's 1400+; especially since many interviewers won't realize that the scale was recentered starting with class of 2000, so they're going to see a 1400 now and think of it as the current equivalent of ~ 1480 for when they were in school.</p>
<p>im a rising sophomore...should i include my SAT writing score on my resume? its not bad but it is my worst score and im not sure if leaving it off would look like im hiding something or if its not even worth putting it on because it doesnt really mean much to recruiters</p>
<p>I wouldn't bother with the writing score as even many colleges aren't using it for evaluation; nevermind interviewers who never took such a section themselves.</p>
