Are my Psat scores good enough?

<p>I am a sophomore (african american) applying for the Yess program at Caltech. I heard that they dont accept that many sophomores and I was wondering if a 59 on the critical reading, 61 on the math and a 73 on writing skills was good enough.</p>

<p>PS… this is for a combined score of 193 (for those of you who dont want to add up the scores)</p>

<p>haha you read my mind, I was about to hit the back button bc I was lazy and didn’t want to add :P</p>

<p>193 is pretty low, you should study a good bit over the summer/when you have time (just general advice) Your psat certainly won’t be the high point of your app, but if you have other stuff worth mentioning you might get in.</p>

<p>Thanks, i thought 193 was at least decent for sophomores</p>

<p>193 is quite good for sophomores. Probably around 97%ile. While your scores aren’t perfect they are by no means bad.</p>

<p>they are not bad at all. depending on race, location, and reccs, you will get in. plus you should try SAMS, its double the length of YESS</p>
