<p>Please tell me my chances at each, and your reasoning. Thanks.</p>
<p>sry, dont mean to be harsh. I kind of understand where you're coming from, a lot of my friends have amazing scores too and it can be kind of discouraging. but dont act like its the end of the world. plenty of ppl would love to have those scores.</p>
<p>I will agree with everyone else that test scores are not everything and that they will not make it or break it if you are in the general range of applicants. BUT, if you are just an average smart kid, with great gpa, good sat, normal ECs then getting into an ivy is a crap shoot. They have tons of <em>average</em> super smart kids applying to their school willing to pay top dollar... what they accept are the ones who have something that makes them unique(or a legacy :) or huge benefactor)... </p>
<p>Don't worry about it- what is meant to be will happen and nothing you do now will really matter(as long as you send in the app and don't commit a felony)</p>
<p>Okay, new rule. Unless you have a 1.2 GPA and a 600 SAT, no more complaining about how HORRIBLE your stats are. Come on. Anything above a 1400 is something most people would trade genitalia for. And here you are spitting on it. Way to appreciate what you've got. I mean, I see this, I'm thinking a train wreck, only to see some dude whining about a 1440. Boo freakin' hoo.</p>
<p>If your parents think your scores are low and you agree, you need to get a life. There are so many people that strive for such a score, and you describe it as 'TERRIBLE'. You disgust me as well. Whatever will you do, you might as well not even go to college with a terrible 1440 SAT score, gosh, even to say such high numbers.. and out of 1600? sheesh.</p>
<p>What kind of friends do you have exactly? And WTF is wrong with your parents?</p>
<p>My friends could give a $*#@ about my SAT scores. I have one great friend who got a 970, and another who got a perfect 1600. As long as we get along, I don't see the point of fretting. Yet, the 970 is the captain of the baseball team, has a steady girlfriend is one of the friendliest people I know. Even my perfect-scoring friend (Stanford EA, BTW) is a little jealous of him. So much emphasis put on SAT scores is sickening. Your parents saying a 1440 is "low" is absolutely disgusting.</p>
<p>Conspicuous consumption as it relates to SAT scores. We don't score well for ourselves, we score well to look good to others. It makes me want to vomit.</p>
<p>"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I might only get into a top 30 school instead of a top 5. My life is over!!!!!!!"</p>
<p>(Lol, I used, "sickening," "disgusting" and "vomit" in the same post)</p>
<p>AAGGGGG!!!!!!!! Yet another prototype of insufficient self-confidence!! Just keep dishing out those amazing stats, make everyone feel bad, and give yourself a pat on the back for being a true moron. OMG!!! A 1440!!! You bastard.. your presence makes me sick..</p>
<p>No I'm talking to myself, incidentally, I'm manic depressant. Of course I'm talking to you. Your scores are solid yet you have the emotional maturity of a spoon. Do not come here looking for someone to stroke your overbearing and apparently self righteous ego. So many people look on this site every day looking for some semblance of thought on their chances about getting in college, these people do not post because their scores are not high and they would rather not share then. The truth is, 1200 is a GOOD SAT score. Not great by any means, but much better than the supposed average of 1000. You have no business calling your score terrible, if that is what you think, fine, but keep it to yourself in your own pathetic mind.</p>
<p>Earth to bj: I'm not the one who said that my scores were bad!! In fact, I'm the one who's been bashing people who do that - just check out the threads that I;ve started... What made you think that was me? If you thought that I was serious when I said: "AAGGGGG!!!!!!!! Yet another prototype of insufficient self-confidence!! Just keep dishing out those amazing stats, make everyone feel bad, and give yourself a pat on the back for being a true moron. OMG!!! A 1440!!! You bastard.. your presence makes me sick.." then you are mistaken. I was being sarcastic...very sarcastic...</p>
<p>My mistake BL, I saw your comment and I thought that you had started this thread. I too find anyone berating their own scores wrong, it ruins self confidence of the person, and in this case, many other who read this board. Akaichi is the self righteous over indulger, not you.</p>
<p>Your total score isn't bad. What's troubling is the tremendous disparity between your verbal and math scores. Most ivies/elites value the verbal much higher than the math since most of your coursework will involve writing.</p>
<p>Your SAT II Writing score redeems it somewhat, but it's still not enough to compensante. Did you take any AP English tests? For almost all colleges, AP scores have a higher precedence than SAT scores. So if you got a 4 or 5, that woud easily outweigh your verbal.</p>
<p>Well, that holds true for most ivies/elites except the tech schools. They put more emphasis on math, but they still want to see a good verbal score.</p>
<p>Aw c'mon now. 1440 and those stats are not that terrible. You would still make an excelent corn picker. But wait... you said you were a valedictorian? That's awesome. A high school close to where I live is hiring for custodians. You might consider skipping undergraduate educations and applying for the job.</p>
