SATs... argh

<p>Ok, so I took the SAT for the third time in May and I did hideously:</p>

<p>720CR
730M (should be getting 800)
670W (ridiculous, usually get full marks for the MCs - 8 on the essay.. let down)</p>

<p>That makes a 2120..
I know I can get 800 for M, and possibly a 800 for W. CR is really as good as it is going to get for me though.</p>

<p>Does CMU accept score choice? If so, should I retake for a 4th time? Also, thats make 1450 CR + M (1490 Super-score).. so does it only look at CR+M?</p>

<p>Most colleges super score SAT up to three sittings. When you take the SAT more than that they start looking at each test separately. </p>

<p>What is your planned major? If you are applying CIT I can say that my S got accepted with essentially the same scores (higher M/lower CR).</p>

<p>Applying for Economics.
I may take it for a 4th time if the college utilizes score choice… so I can focus on Math and Writing only for the 4th time. What do you think?</p>

<p>thats what DS got in with in 2002.
Get good letters of recommendations, have some fun, be an all round guy.</p>

<p>Who is DS?</p>

<p>Dearest son?</p>

<p>Oh sorry. I thought those were the initials of some famous graduate of CMU.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry too much. I got in with a 510 on the SAT II Writing.</p>

<p>move on…these scores are fine-- slightly above average-- be done.</p>

<p>Focus on SATII as well and overall solid grades…especially in key classes…grades from senior year are looked at …these can be deal breakers.</p>

<p>Essays very important-- spend your time on those - especially the college supplemental one!</p>

<p>Enough saturday mornings wasted…do not bother to take this exam again…</p>

<p>You might even entertain yourself and take an ACT …and be surprised…</p>

<p>@7. I hope that he’s working on being famous. </p>

<p>Remember, its the simple things that gets you famous. Wither, Good or Bad.</p>

<p>Yes to what mom2012and2014 said. Try take the ACT if you have some time. It’s a much better test IMHO.</p>

<p>You’ve already put yourself through the torture that is the SAT three times. Please don’t take a fourth. I got into CMU with similar scores. Focus your time on the SAT II tests if you haven’t already.</p>
