Does my 2300+ score go to waste?

<p>So I took the November SAT and did quite well on it, and sent it to Yale after I applied SCEA.
My Eli account indicates that they have received the scores, and the numbers show up when I log in, but is it very likely that the admissions people have already opened up my file, made their decision, and will now disregard my 2300+ score? </p>

<p>Or would they see that score, go back, and reconsider me in context of that score? </p>

<p>Or better yet, have they not even gone into committee yet?</p>

<p>I know it’s just one component of my application, but I’m worried.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>First of all… congrats!</p>

<p>Second, you can call and find out for sure :P</p>

<p>I have the same “problem” (if a 2300+ can be called a problem)! I hope they at least glance at it before shoving my entire app in the “recycle” bin.</p>

<p>Let me know what you find out, or I just may have to call myself! They do say that they consider scores for the November ACT; let’s just hope they keep to that.</p>

<p>Yeah I really need them to consider my November SAT score, because it’s my highest single sitting score, and for all three individual portions, so super-scoring now means nothing to me.</p>

<p>If I find out anything, I’ll let you know, wink. And vice versa, please!</p>

<p>it says on the site they consider Nov scores…committee doesnt convene until like dec. 1 or something. I read that somewhere on the site.</p>

<p>Yeah the ASC chair in my area said he wanted me to have my interview ASAP so they could send the report up to New Haven before December 1. </p>

<p>So what are admissions officers doing from November 1 til December 1? Sorting? Filing?</p>

<p>I would think that they would consider the new scores, or else they wouldn’t allow them in the first place. Still, unless your old scores are drastically worse, I don’t think that they would change their minds because of new scores. (If they’ve already decided to reject you, theres probably some other issue with your application)</p>
