<p>The first time I took the SAT, I got 1900, the second time, I got 1850. This time, I got 1930.
My subscores were 560 CR, 670 M, 700 W
My first concern is that my subscores will look out of balance. Certainly, it will be odd to see a 140 point gap. My second concern is that I only raised it 30 points, and I’ve been hearing that as an OOS applicant, I want a 2000. If the percentiles of accepted students was linear, I would be 72nd to 73rd percentile, however, it probably isn’t that way. Sorry if I seem didactic, but I need answers. Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I don’t remember what I got on the SAT since I took it Sophomore year, got some decent score and never bothered to re-take it. I was talking with some people in the CS department and they barely even remember taking it.</p>
<p>The weight placed on the SAT for admission is totally blown out of proportion, unless you happen to have below a 3.9 or 3.8 from high school/community college or mediocre-to-nonexistent extra curriculars.</p>
<p>If people spent as much time on their admission essays as they did taking and re-taking the SATs they’d probably have a better shot at being admitted. Remember, it’s only one small portion of your overall application.</p>
