<p>If you think a 2200 SAT is the worst day in your life then you honestly are living an extremely sheltered life without incorrect priorities.</p>
<p>I find it extremely unlikely that anyone who got < 1900 would care that much about the SAT, or getting into the top colleges. It’s all relative.</p>
<p>Also, no one knows whether those, say, 40 points will keep them out of their dream college or not. Admissions is such a crapshoot nowadays, especially at top universities. For example, my 2340 (740 CR, 800 on Math and Writing) would be fine for 99% of colleges but nothing special at 1%. </p>
<p>P.S. This isn’t the worst day of my life, though :P</p>
<p>^I would say that it’s excellent at 99% and just fine at 1%. Which means that it’s not going to make or break your application. If you don’t get in, it will be because of something else. A 2340 vs. a 2400 most likely won’t be the deciding factor.</p>
<p>By the way I’m basically in the same situation, 2360 (760 CR).</p>
<p>^I wish I could say I wasn’t jealous. :P</p>
<p>-insert joke about crazy CC nerds here-</p>
<p>wietersway, i just wanted to let you know that where you go undergrad <em>does</em> matter, to an extent, on your law school apps</p>
<p>Dude all I can say is if getting a 2270 on the SAT was the worst day of your life then you had a helluva life so far.
I wish I never found this site haha I felt really good about my scores before this crazy website. You people do realize though that a 2200+ is 99th %ile. And 2100 is 97th. And 2040 is 95th.
So like I said, if being better than 99+% of people makes it the worst day of your life, then you’ve had one helluva life so far. Might as well just kill yourself know, I mean how much worse can it get?</p>
<p>^Is that just for the total scores? I got 2340 and was in the 98th, 99th, and 99th percentiles individually.</p>
