How important is National Percentage in SAT?

<p>I got terrible SAT scores. The nationa percentage was:
CR - 72%
Maths-84%
Writing - 72%</p>

<p>How important are national percentage??? What do they actually mean??</p>

<p>They dont really matter, your actual score matters.</p>

<p>The ONLY thing that adcom looks at is your actual scores. Of course, an adcom knows that a 700 is great and a 750+ is outstanding bcos of the percentiles. But, adcoms don’t look at percentiles per se.</p>
