<p>I think it is actually irrelevant, b/c colleges won't be regarding the writing too much. I would say shoot for the old 75% in math and reading, & make sure you get a 700+ writing.</p>
<p>But if you really want to know, these are my estimates;</p>
<p>Does the lowest 25% mostly include internationals? I know there are some int's with high scores but aren't most internationals in the bottom bracket?</p>
<p>I always thought internationals were in the upper 25% because the competition for limited places is so stiff. A lot of people in the lower 25% are usually URMs, recruited athletes, VIPs, and other special cases.... they got accepted for reasons besides stellar academic performance.</p>
<p>I thought since they're int's their verbal wouldn't be as high but I guess not. Most of the applicants are not URMs or VIPs or athletes so what they should do is give SAT ranges based on categories like athletes, each race and legacy.</p>
<p>it sucks to hav english as a second language : ( (im a chinese living in hk, attending an international school)
got 1980, 800 for math, 580 for CR and 600 for writing (8essay)
hope i can improve during the oct SAT : (</p>
<p>realistically....
Is it possible to improve my score from 1960 to a 2100+???
my breakdown: Writing 600 CR 660 Math 700</p>
<p>I am planning to study the whole summer SAT...
Ive already own the barrons/PR and CB study guides...
Now I want to buy rocketreview... or are the books that I already own sufficient.
And how about workbooks????</p>
<p>deference, i don't think your SAT score will keep you out of any school. if you can, improve, but if you can't, just shrug it off and apply anyway. if you can write a good essay and such, you could be a very competitive applicant.</p>
<p>Are the score ranges posted for all of those colleges including best scores from all testings, or the best scores in one sitting. </p>
<p>For example, Princeton takes highest combined, so does the score range of 1380-1550 posted reflect best scores in math and verbal from different testings?</p>
<p>heltahir, I think its best score from all testings, so that the college can boost its stats.
At an information session, the Cornell rep said they do this "just to help you." Yes, it helps you, but only if you are the only one applying. Maybe she forgot that multiple people were applying. Ah, I love the BS of admissions talk. Any</p>
<p>I heard that the "multiply old sat by 1.5 to get new range" isn't really accurate because the new sat is supposedly harder, so the scores will be lower in comparison to old sat. Is this true?</p>
<p>For our class, the numbers should stay the same, or maybe be a bit higher (if it is CR+M) because critical reading seems easier. I'd suggest aiming for 75th percentile in math and critical reading and getting about 700 or above in writing.</p>
