<p>Hi,
I took the January SATs and got these scores:</p>
<p>CR: 750
Math: 770
W: 780
Combined: 2300</p>
<p>I'm aiming for Ivy League colleges next year, and my mom won't stop bugging me about retaking my SATs T_T I'm pretty much clueless on this stuff, so I was wondering about a couple things. One, are these scores okay for the colleges i want if i'm asian (the asian curve of doom...) or is it not worth taking it over again? i know they count a lot of other things, but is there some kind of standard score? Also, if i retake the test, will they only look at my best score in each section or will they look at the best combined score?</p>
<p>i personally don't want to retake them, but i will if i have to and it would make my mom happy =_=</p>
<p>i dont have much experience, but i would say those scores are great!</p>
<p>It’s a terrific score. It will put you in the top tier in almost any school. Having said that - some schools “super score” which means they will take the top score from each section and combine them into a superscore. Some use this superscore for admissions, some for scholarships. At some schools, the top merit scholarships will only go to “perfect” or nearly perfect scores, because they have superscored a 2400 or a 36. Yes some schools even superscore the ACT sections, not a lot, but some. </p>
<p>If you google “common data set” “name of school” 2009 … you can find the stats for the schools you are interested in for their 2009 freshman class. This will tell you pretty quickly how your score stacks up.</p>
<p>okay thanks! i’ll try looking up the common data sets. this superscore stuff doesn’t seem very fair to me though…:o</p>
