<p>I got a 2050
710 critical reading
700 math
640 writing (11 essay)
I'm applying EA</p>
<p>yes and you do need suject scores too.</p>
<p>I took those yesterday (USH and math 2). How much do you think I need to raise my SATs?</p>
<p>I think you should retake and try to get a 700+ in each section, at least a 2200+ and you’ll be in good shape 
best of luck</p>
<p>See page 9 from Yale’s 2009-2010 Common Data Set: <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/oir/cds.pdf[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/oir/cds.pdf</a></p>
<p>You need to retake the test. Your score of 640 in writing is far below Yale’s 25th percentile score of 700. You can also compare other years as a double-check by going to: [Common</a> Data Set](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/oir/ComDatset.html]Common”>http://www.yale.edu/oir/ComDatset.html)</p>
<p>Some analysis of CC SCEA application results, which probably appear more competitive than the general pool:</p>
<p>Admission results of reporters posting test scores by SAT/ACT score bracket
2390-2400 (22 scores) Admitted: 36%, Deferred: 59%, Denied: 5%
……….(note: ACT 36 = SAT 2390 by latest concordance table)
2350-2380 (18 scores) Admitted: 55%, Deferred: 33%, Denied: 11%
2300-2340 (41 scores) Admitted: 41%, Deferred: 51%, Denied: 7%
2250-2290 (26 scores) Admitted: 19%, Deferred: 61%, Denied: 19%
2200-2240 (16 scores) Admitted: 6%, Deferred: 75%, Denied: 19%
2100-2190 (18 scores) Admitted: 17%, Deferred: 39%, Denied: 44%
Below 2100 (15 scores) Admitted: 20%, Deferred: 40%, Denied: 40% </p>

<p>My subject tests came in:
700 math 2 (omitted about 9 because I ran out of time 
)
710 USH</p>
<p>Ugh… Things just keep getting worse</p>
<p>None of your scores are horrible, and don’t be overly swayed by the statistics posted, since that is a VERY self-selecting group. </p>
<p>Pretty much if you have the spare time, take the SATs again, if not, it won’t be the sole reason for a rejection.</p>
<p>Yeah, I would retake … you want to get above a 2100. I know plenty of people who have gotten in with scores in the 2100-2200 range (myself included) but very few that have gotten in with scores below that. </p>
<p>If you got an 11 essay you should be able to do much better on the writing. Ideally none of your sections should be below 700. I had an extremely low math score (around the range of your writing score) but made up for it with 800s on the other two sections.</p>
<p>If you have your mind set on attending Yale or a school of similar caliber, take the SAT again after much practice this summer.</p>
<p>How important are APs? First year of taking them…
US history 5
AP lit 3 :(</p>
<p>Or you can take ACT with writing since it covers both SAT and subject tests for Yale and it is much sooner than the next SAT.</p>
<p>^i’m planning on doing that so hopefully I do well and don’t have to worry about SAT! Thank you!</p>
