<p>On the November SAT, I got a 2100 (640 CR, 770 M, 690 W). When I was looking at some college admissions interquartile ranges, I noticed that some of the colleges I may possibly be interested in have a slightly higher critical reading score (such as 660 opposed to my 640). Would that 640 in critical reading affect my chances at a school like Penn or Cornell? I did not take the Subject Tests yet because I am only a junior in high school so I will probably take them in January or March. (Also, ranked 1st in class, 4.0 GPA, good ECs)</p>
<p>Yes, retake. A 640 in CR is painfully low for Ivy’s. Shoot for 720+. Or take the ACT.</p>
<p>penn and cornell? </p>
<p>definitely retake the 2100, and really really shoot for that higher CR score (700+ minimum)</p>
<p>set a goal for yourself and push yourself to reach it! good luck :)</p>
