Hello! I am planning on applying for a few fly in programs this summer (Williams, Smith, Amherst, Middlebury, Tufts, Haverford) and some ask for SAT scores.
I have taken the SAT but I only scored a 1480 ( 760 reading and 720 math). I plan to take it again in June but scores won’t come out till mid July and I want to submit these applications as soon as possible as most admit on a rolling basis.
Should I submit this score, wait until I get my June score (which hopefully will be higher), or go test optional?
For context my gpa as of now is 92.5 UW/94.57 W. Based on my grades right now I expect it to go up a point or two by the end of the year. Also, my grades are a bit skewed as I struggled with some classes freshman year, especially first semester, though my grades did go up in those classes second semester, and first semester sophomore (because of remote learning).
I’ve taken AP Euro: 4, AP CSP: 5
This year I’m taking APUSH, AP Environmental, and AP Lang and Comp (also as some of these programs will consider AP scores if submitted, should I wait to get these scores?)
Side note: being from NYC would I be considered as living too close to Haverford for this program?
