<p>I never took the SAT's nor the ACT. I graduated High School when I was 16 in a different country, came to the U.S right after, and then enlisted in the military just a year later when I was 17 with my Dad's consent. I spent four years in the military, where I went to college and knocked out a year. After I got out I transferred to UT Austin where I am now majoring in Economics. My question is, should I take the SAT's if I choose to pursue a career in Investment Banking or consulting? I am now a Junior, and I have an ok GPA 3.52 which I think I can increase to around 3.7 before I graduate. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>If you're already in college, there's no reason to take the SATs. They don't go on your resume; no one will ever see them.</p>
<p>Mmm..the reason why I ask this question is becauae I constantly hear people saying that interviewers tend to as students about their SAT scores, and you even have to put it on your job application when applying for consulting and IB internships.</p>
<p>Anymore comments?</p>
<p>Where did you hear that? Employers could care less about what you did during high school.</p>
<p>I have actually seen that as well, but it's only been for the finance/consulting firms. If I remember what company, I'll post again, but I'm drawing a blank right now.</p>
<p>The main reason why I asked is because I've seen countless threads stating that consulting firms of the likes of McKinsey and elite IB's checking your SAT scores, because to them it signifies natural intelligence.</p>
<p>obviously those companies aren't dumb... they can roughly convert ACT to SAT scores</p>
