How important is SAT for admissions?

<p>But Amy Perez said in an information session in my town two years ago that MIT is looking for SAT scores, section by section, that begin with a digit 7 or 8, and I remember some families walked out of the auditorium right after she said that. That was in reference to the old two-section SAT I. On the new SAT I, with three sections and a maximum score of 2400, perhaps it is harder to clear 700 on all three sections, </p>

<p>but the meaning of a 650 on each section is still the same as before, so there is no harm in trying to get above 700 if you have opportunity to do that before you submit your application. </p>

<p>Good luck in your applications. </p>

<p>After edit: You are working on SAT II tests as well, right?</p>
