Do you have the intention of graduating early? If not, I honestly would not advise applying after two-and-one-half years of high school if you wish to maximize your prospects of admission to the most selective institutions. Even so, I would recommend that you retake the SAT at either the December or January test date to potentially enhance your competitiveness.

What exactly are you referencing?



Poliscience was referencing the fact that shrig94’s SAT score was in the vicinity of Harvard’s fiftieth percentile for students attending. There’s the commonly circulated and rather spurious wisdom on this website that attaining some arbitrary score on the SAT (e.g., 2100, 2250, 2300, said college’s nth percentile) is sufficient and surpassing the given distinction will provide no additional admissions assistance.
