<p>I retook the SAT today and I feel (and hope) I got an 800 on CR. I still am not sure how I did on the math; even after studying for weeks, there were several I didn’t know how to do. 
I’m probably going to get math tutoring and retake the SAT in January, but if–even after tutoring–I couldn’t break 700, would Yale even look at my application if I had an 800 W, 800 CR, and 600 (or 600-range) M? I’m just kind of worried since some people have said they look at SAT/GPA first and if you don’t make the “cutoff” (not expressed cutoff, but implied nonetheless), they won’t even glance at your essays or EC’s.</p>
<p>bump. i don’t know if i got an 800 cr but i think it’s possible, so i’d like to know too…cuz im still not sure how good my math is. but if you’re clearly great in english but so-so in math…will they look at your app or no?</p>
<p>I can’t really answer this, but I can tell you that Yale prefers higher scores in the critical reading and writing sections (in general). I think with two 800s and then a so-so score in math, you will definitely be considered. I would have a perfect GPA as well, if it wasn’t for math 
Gah! Don’t you just hate math…</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, I am in the opposite boat! Maths is the one section I feel mostly confident that I have done well in… writing a little less so but CR is a complete worry and it’s not as if I ever get low scores in English! It’s just the timing/vocab issue grrr. Do you guys have any tips for getting high CR scores if I have to retake??</p>
