<p>Hi everyone, I'm sure there have been a million discussions like this on CC but I'd like some updated opinions. How important do you think SATs truly are in college admissions when applying to top schools? I've gone on many tours that say it's not the main thing they look at, but everyone including myself stress and stress over them. Do colleges just say that? I already took them and freaked out when I got much lower than I wanted, along with half the other people who took it in my classes. I am taking it again this weekend. So basically, how important do you think it truly is to be in the top of the 50th percentile SAT range? Will anything under 2100 completely kill you when applying to top schools? Just wondering what everyone thinks as well as to calm my own nerves :p thanks and good luck to all taking them!</p>
