hello everyone, i had a question about how universities view multiple sat sittings. the first time i took it i got 690CR 800Math 770Writing, and then i retook it a few months later for a 800CR 760Math 800Writing. I pretty much screwed up in math. Anyway, I know the composite score for that one sitting is already pretty good, but how much does a cumulative 2400 actually count in the eyes of admissions officers? Do they actually take the highest of each section or will they still be like “ehh. nothing super special”.

I’m aiming to apply for stanford SCEA, harvard, princeton, MIT, caltech. How they view SATs?
