<p>I received my SAT scores today and got a 2320. In combination with my first SAT, they superscore to a 2380. My previous result was 2260, so it's not like the first one was bad.</p>
<p>My question is, do schools such as Yale, Princeton, Duke, or Stanford take into account that I took the test twice? 2380 is almost perfect, and probably would provide me a little edge on the average unhooked applicant, while 2320 would probably put me right around the average unhooked yet qualified applicant. </p>
<p>Just wondering how top colleges will view these scores and how it affects my applicant profile.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine! Even 2320 on its own is awesome. Focus on other parts of your app - unless you’re a senior, in which case, don’t worry about it and focus on your schoolwork till April. Either way, you’re all good. Colleges take your best scores.</p>
<p>And yes, most top schools will let you superscore it. Yale looks at all your scores; Harvard looks at the ones you send and writes down the highest section scores for them.</p>
<p>OK, i know this is probably a bit irrelevant but what did you score on your essay and how?
I entered the exam twice both with 8’s and i studied realllyyyy hard the second time around!! if i had gotten a 12 in my essay i would have gotten a 760 in writing and now i only have a 690… So any tips!!!</p>
<p>This is my third post of the same thing on a different forum… I’m sorry hahah I just need as many opinions on my problem as possible! Thanks in advance and sorry again haha
Okay so
I’m planning on applying for ivies and other really competitive schools. I’m currently a junior and I’m the varsity basketball team. I go to one of the top schools in the county and I have a perfect GPA. 4.0unweighted and 4.32 total weighted with all AP and honors classes this year. i received a 2270 for my january SAT. 770 CR 750math 750 writing. im planning to take MATH2c and physics for my SAT 2s and maybe apush. i was wondering if i should retake the SAT just because i know i can do better in math and writing… i know 2270 is a high score, but i dont know if its high enough to compete with all the 2300+s that apply to stanford, harvard, brown, MIT, etc. and im gonna be applying for computer science and information tech…For my community service ive been mentoring underprivileged kids and have been helping them with fitness and healthy decision making. and ive gone to a mission trip to indonesia for a week to build a school for students there… is my SAT score a bit low to compete with all the top school applicants? my friend has told me that its best to take the test twice although most people take it three times… is this true?there. year.</p>
<p>You can ignore the “there. Year” at the end</p>
