<p>i got a 760 and it seems a bit low since so many people have 800's. I'm sure i can easily get an 800 if i re-took it...but i don't really want to or think i need to. I don't think it would be a deciding factor in admissions, but that's why i'm asking if it's too low or fine, just to be sure. I have good EC's (natl lvl sports, research, ISEF to name a few) and I will be taking advanced math courses my senior year (calc III, lin alg, diff equations). I'm just hoping those would perhaps make up for the score or whatever</p>
<p>700+ is good.</p>
<p>I got 750 so 760 looks good to me. lol</p>
<p>Don't worry about it, a 760 won't make or break your acceptance, and bumping it up to an 800 won't either</p>
<p>760 is fine! taking it again for 40 more points is a little excessive</p>
<p>750 and up (750+)</p>
<p>I read once from an MIT website from one of their admission officers that they really don't care if you got 750 or 800 on your SAT2s and I assume that applies to Stanford as well.</p>
<p>I got a 760 and got in. HTH</p>

<p>Whether that's true or not, I'm always wary of believing information of this type given out by admissions officers or web sites. The fact is they'd love to get as many applications as they can get to decrease their admit rate and earn more revenue. That's why you'll frequently read things like "We do not use cutoffs for GPA and SAT," but common sense tells you that you're not going to get in with a 2.0 GPA or a 1000 SAT. Likewise, if a school had a 780 SAT II average, let's say, they're not going to tell you to not bother applying if you only have a 700 or 750.</p>
<p>If the average is 780, then wouldn't have be above and half below? </p>
<p>Don't retake. A final decision between two "equal" candidates won't hinge on one of them having a 760 on Math II, and the other having an 800...although so many on CC would like to believe it does. There will be other, more important factors.</p>
<p>I retook a 720 for an 800. I think that was worth it. 750+ is fine though.</p>
<p>Yeah... I got a 730...</p>
<p>and I don't think I'm going to retake it.</p>
<p>i got a 790 on the math 2c, but will my SAT1 score of 2070 hurt my chances?</p>
<p>^What do you mean by hurting your chances? If you mean that had you had a better score than your chances would have been higher- of course
but if you mean do you have a chance then the answer is yes a 2070 won't kill all hope.</p>
<p>uh, "so many people has 800's"?
How many? (generally) What percentage of all test-takers get 800's? What percentage of Ivy candidates? like a 40%? just wondering~~</p>
<p>superwizard, in all honesty, 2070 is not cutting it for stanford, you really need something phenomenal in your record to make up for it.</p>
<p>how come everyone seems so obsessed with SATs? Alright I am not exactly a genius at all this...but what if a person has like other things to prove themselves...like i don't know grades...maybe the person is just bad at standarized testing? eh well yea. i suck at critical reading so that really brings my score down...so i was just wondering.</p>
<p>thu the something phenomenal extra, if you have average ec's compared to other applicants, and average courseload/ gpa as others, you won't cut it.</p>
<p>if you have other things to prove yourself, you might have a chance, but 2070 is still pretty low for an applicant score, so you need something substantial to "prove" yourself</p>
<p>is coming from india in the beginning of ninth grade a good reason for doing sooo badly at critical reading?</p>
<p>uh, I moved from China in the beginning of tenth grade. So I have the same problem here, although I haven't taken the test yet..I'm sure I'm not going to do rediculously well. By the way, don't you guys speak English too in Inida?</p>
