Does this hurt my ivy league chances?

ivyleaguewannabe · 06-26-2008, 05:04 AM

Scores are just in:

Literature: 750
Math: 620
USH: 770

What does that 620 do to my ivy league chances? I think I am going to retake the SAT I in October to raise a 1940, so don't think I will have a chance to retry the SAT II.

What do you think?

math 1 or 2?
A 620 hurts your chances much less than a 1940, prob. better to take that.

you might want to raise it to push it up to 700+ b/c ur talking about ivy league. unless you're really talented in something like a world class athlete or a nationally ranked physics Olympiad, a lot of other applicants will have a score much much higher than yours. But really, I'm not sure if my statements up heere is a good or not...
and I knew a boy who got 1860 on SAT, but 800 on math 2 and is a very good computer programmer and he's going to MIT this fall. So, unless you're like this dude, well, maybe u retake it????? IDK!

you can retake it in Nov maybe? I think you might be able to rush in the score for ED. Check with your college.

I am planning to apply EA to these colleges. Can I still take it in Nov? Another thought is to just leave the SAT I alone, take the ACT in September (I live in Arizona so this works), and retake the SAT II Math II in October instead of the SAT and see what that does for me. Any thoughts?

you could try.

MrBojangles · 06-26-2008, 05:55 AM

If you can do better, I would definitely retake it.
