<p>Hey y'all! I was wondering about the 1450 cutoff for reynolds and carswell scholarships. How seriously do they take this. I have to raise my score 40 pts for this but that would mean taking it a 4th time. My counselor says that a 4th time wouldn't look any funnier than taking it 3, and why not if it would give me a better chance, but what do y'all think?</p>
<p>So what's the verdict...take the SAT yet again in November and focus on raising my score at least 40 pts, or just apply with the score I already have...</p>
<p>(i think i asked this before sometime but i don't remember anyone relaly knowing the ansewr, so since it's been a while, maybe y'all that have been through the process will have some words of wisdom)</p>
<p>I don't know. All I can tell you from my personal experience is that I had a 1410 and didn't get any scholarships. I'd wait for someone a little more knowledgeable to come along...but I will tell you, if you haven't looked at the app yet, that it's quite lengthy (like 4 essays)...a lot of work. So it's up to you if you want to try for it.</p>
<p>I probably wouldn't take the SAT again, not only because of the "it starts to look obsessive" factor. My GC used to say that there's been studies done that show you get the best combination of math and verbal and writing within the first three tries and anything after that isn't really worth it.</p>
<p>You may want to wait for other opinions here, haha.</p>
<p>I'm here on a large scholarship, and when I applied there wasn't anything mentioned about an SAT cutoff. It can't hurt to fill out the application (which, like Juba mentioned, is grueling), but it also can't really hurt to take the SAT again. I took it my third time in December of my senior year (although I'd probably recommend taking it before December because I had to send in my application before that, and so it was difficult to get the SAT score to the school quickly enough), and I went up 80 points.</p>
<p>K, thanks y'all! I just registered to take it again :(. I figure if i just raise each section by 20 points I'm a little over it and that woul dlook good i hope. Hopefully it will happen!</p>
