1510 won’t keep you out. 1600 won’t get you in.



well, I think everybody here on CC knows enough about that already. I never said 1600s are auto admits. It’s frustrating when people break it down and oversimplify the issue. the issue isn’t about whether any SAT score on its own could guarantee admission. It’s about how much more a higher score could help an applicant, and that’s why I’m asking the OP to retake it, cos I think it would improve his chances for Ivies.

Even for applicants from non-English speaking countries, there is obviously a limit to which colleges would bend over backwards to accept low CR/W scores. And who is to say the OP’s scores are good enough for his country’s pool? We can only guess, and the OP would have less to worry about with a higher score.
