What is a "high enough" SAT score for Ivies?

Test Preparation

<p>Hey guys! This question has been bothering me for quite a bit of time...I know there might not be a "right" answer, but I'm feeling really frustrated so any help is appreciated!</p>

<p>As I want to apply to competitive colleges (these are my "reach" schools) on the East Coast (Princeton, Harvard, etc), I'm afraid my SAT scores are not nearly good enough. I got a 2240 the first time, but dropped to a 2190 the second time! If we were to super score it, I would have a 2280: 720, 800, 760. </p>

<p>My questions: should I retake the SAT? I'm afraid that I won't have enough time to study for it and may do even more poorly since it'll be my senior year coming fall. Is my SAT score good enough if I have 800s in my subject tests, leadership/club experience and will have a projected volunteer hour count of around 400? I don't really want to take the ACT since I already invested so much time in the SAT...</p>

<p>All responses are greatly appreciated. :)</p>

<p>your scores are all fine for the Ivies. No need to take it again. Focus on other things, rather than taking the SAT again.</p>

<p>There’s no “high enough” SAT, there are people with 2300+ who don’t get in and people with 1800 that do (believe me, I know personal examples of both). So, yeah, focus on other aspects and be done with the SAT!</p>
