<p>I am applying for Fall 2011 and am an international. Here are the scores I am applying with:</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning:
750M (770), 730CR, 800W - 2280 (2310 Super-score) - my math scores a shame, I have distinctions in international maths competitions</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests:
800 Math II
800 Physics</p>
<p>So what SAT scores were you accepted with?</p>
<p>Here are students (accepted and rejected) with scores both higher and lower than yours.</p>

<p>Seriously, why would a 770 be a shame?
As far as I know, the difference between a 770 and 800 is just one or two questions. And guess what? Anybody can do 1-2 faults on a math exam even if they knew the answers…</p>
<p>And as for Yale, although your scores are pretty solid,they certainly aren’t anything extraordinary for them. So you stand a chance as much as anyone else. :)</p>
<p>Owh, and I got accepted with a 800M, 660W, 620CR(2080 total.) English is my third language, so there goes the 660 and 620. :D</p>
<p>Yeh. English is my second language too. I think there is a section on the Common-app that asks for your first language and the primary language spoken at home right?</p>
<p>It’s a shame because I have so many awards for math that the 770 will just negate it. I just hope the admission committee will see that I have a 800 in Math II and recognize that it was 1 mistake that cost me the 800. You can also see I made another mistake by saying that my super-score is 2310 when it is in fact 2300. Sigh…</p>
<p>Trust me there’s no difference between a 770 and a 800.
Instead of retaking the exam once more(and you’ve already done so for three times) enjoy your summer fully, before you set out to the year of stress and deadlines next year :P</p>
<p>Plus, some schools may ask you to send all your scores, and I’d bet taking the SAT four times would look a bit negatively on you, especially since you’ve got a great score on your third try.</p>
<p>However, as far as I know, Yale should require the TOEFL from you, since you’re an international. In that case I guess you’ll need to take the TOEFL no matter how impressive your WR/CR scores are. And don’t worry, in the TOEFL you just need to get above the 100 line for Yale, it doesn’t matter if it’s a 100 or a 120. And a student who gets 600+ on the SAT shouldn’t even need any preparing for the TOEFL.(I got a 116 with no prior studying for it) The iBT is a very very easy exam, if you’re any decent with english. :)</p>
<p>It depends on what international region you are from. The Asian continent and surrounding islands are far more competitive than other regions.</p>
<p>jebar: I posted my link to you in order that you might not obsess about your darn SATI math score. As you can see, people with scores both higher and lower than yours were admitted and rejected. Your 770 or 800 math score will not get you in nor will it get you rejected.</p>
<p>Got that? If you honestly think that Yale would only want you because you perfected one part of the SAT test, then you have a deficiency in analyzing what Yale is looking for.</p>
<p>I second T26E4. If you have distinctions in international math competitions, then those will hold far more weight than -1 on the SAT Math.</p>
<p>Not to mention your Math II score, as well. Everyone is well aware that the math section has a tight curve and a few mental hiccups or mis-bubblings can impair a perfect score. No one will doubt your math ability because of it.</p>
