<p>I'm really interested in Wesleyan, and I am taking the SATs this weekend. I know it's hard to say, but what should my score be around (approx). in order to consider wesleyan? thanks</p>
<p>To be honest, SAT grades are only 1 piece of the application....there is much much more that goes into it. But I would say 1450 or above would be the ideal area (according to a fellow wesleyan book writer). Leadership positions, especially at libraries, are important.</p>
<p>thanks for being honest. wow...thats really lucky for me! I work in the library in the summer and a little bit durring school, and I also started (by myself!) a board of teens who consult with an advisor at the library, helping to think of ways to make it a place more that would be more attractive to teens. Thanks for the help dazedandconfused88 I really appreciate it!</p>
<p>This is just a word from a seasoned adult who's been observing this college admissions process. Make sure your resume, when you apply to college, accurately reflects all you've done. Don't be shy or modest.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice danielm. i'm just not sure that now since the new sats is out of 2400, what wesleyan will look at and think of as a grade thats in the realm of what's acceptable. Do you think they will look at sats as much/take them into more/less consideration?</p>
<p>In the past, Wesleyan had everyone who was submitting the SAT I, also submit their score on the Writing SAT II. So in the past, they would take all three into account anyway.</p>
<p>For a rough estimate of converting the new SAT into the old SAT, of course just multiply by 2/3 - and vice versa, for converting the old SAT to the new, multiply by 3/2. </p>
<p>For a more real way of converting, subtract the Writing subsection score from your score to get what your score would have been on the old system.</p>
<p>In the end, it doesn't change that much. They still like to see scores ranging in the 700s for any particular subsection. Good luck!</p>
<p>that is rediculous. You do not need 1450+ to get into Wesleyan. Kids in my school have gotten in there with low 90s and 1350. Plz, you do not want to give the kid a hear-attack.</p>
<p>In general you'd want to have 700+ on all sections, which means 1400 on the old SAT and 2100 on the new SAT. 1400 has been the average enrolled SAT for the past 3 years or so (avg. admitted SAT is like 1420-1430).</p>
<p>Obviously the SAT is not the most important thing. Your HS grades are definitely the most important, but it's harder to establish an obvious standard for that since no two HSes have equivalent grading standards.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies. im shooting for 2100 or above on the sat this saturday.</p>
<p>Yeah.. low 700s in each section is the average. You should aim for that or slightly higher, although about 25% of the people who got in last year had scores of 1290 (old scale) or lower.</p>
<p>anyone else? thankss</p>
<p>obviously i haven't taken the new sat...however...i was accepted and my stats for the sat's and sat 2's were as follows:</p>
<p>math: 800
verbal: 670 (surprising considering up to the actual test, i was better at verbal than math)</p>
<p>writing sat II: 760 (taken after 10th grade)</p>
<p>thanks paragon, i really appreciate it</p>
