<p>When I took my first SAT in June, I got a 2190. Then I became convinced it wasn't high enough for schools like Stanford and Columbia so I took it again on Saturday. Now, I am very worried because it did not seem to go as well as I had hoped, but maybe I am just being pessimistic.</p>
<p>When my score does come back and I have a total score that is less than 2190, will it hurt my chances on being accepted to these colleges?</p>
<p>For those that do not know, Stanford wants to see all test scores.</p>
<p>does anyone have any idea?</p>
<p>Wow! People aren’t even reading the previous threads to get the answer to this Frequently Asked Question of the day. Here’s my FAQ answer: </p>
<p>The College Board keeps figures showing some students take the SAT five times or more, just as juniors and seniors.</p>
<p>[Page</a> Not Found](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_dow...rageScores.pdf]Page”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)</p>
<p>Colleges say they look at your best scores–Harvard strengthens that to saying “ONLY your highest scores”–so the key idea is to gain the highest scores you can, without worrying too much about how many times you took the test.</p>

<p>But test scores aren’t the only thing that matters for college admission, even for the students with the highest scores,</p>
<p>How do top scorers on tests fail to gain admission to top schools? </p>
<p>so make sure to take care of everything else that is important. </p>
<p>Bottom line: don’t worry about it.</p>
