How will a perfect SAT/ACT affect my chances?

<p>Something clicked in me 2 months ago with my average GPA so I decided to study my azz off.</p>

<p>Practice test results -
Took SATs: 2250 and 2400.
One math SAT II: 800
One Chem SAT II: 790
Two ACT: 35 hen 36</p>

<p>I don’ know how but I’m doing amazing on those practice tests so I’m confident in the real ones.</p>

<p>So if I get perfect scores on all 4 of those will my chances at a college like Fordham and Syracuse be raised a lot?</p>

<p>If you do get those score, that’s great. You may get some merit aid from many schools too. It will definitely help your chance but probably not much more than someone with 35/2300. Now you need to focus on your GPA, ECs and essay.</p>

<p>As long as you didnt KILL anybody, then you will get in to top schools like fordam with those scores</p>

<p>How is Fordham a top school?</p>

<p>Anyway, yes a perfect score will help your chances.</p>

<p>Fordham’s certainly gonna be your safety school. Yes, colleges see other stuff too, but if you are outstandingly good at SAT, that’s gonna work. 2400 for the most selective Ivy Leagues, LAC, UCs are good but not outstanding. But 2400 for Fordham? Congrats! You’re in. Unless you horribly messed up with your GPA or have some disciplinary or criminal records (lol), you will certainly get into Syracuse or Fordham with no doubt. You don’t call “Fordham” a “top school”… It’s a fine school, but definitely not top.</p>

<p>Not a response to your college of choice. Q: Are you going into LS&A, Music, Art or Engineering? Music depends on your auditions; art your portfolio. Engineering is very competitive; many schools look at your GPA with ACT / SAT. GPA is very important. Some give more credit to your ACT but a great ACT score probaby won’t get you into a top notch college of engineering without a 3.8 UGPA & lots of other “stuff”. LSA opportunities are abundant; many more seats available than performing arts, music, and engineering.</p>

<p>@humanities2014 even if his gpa is terrible, he would still get into fordham. Killing someone is the only thing that could make him not get in lol seriously though</p>

<p>How would a disciplinary record affect him that strongly? I feel like people exaggerate the impact of being expelled in like, 10th grade.</p>

<p>I know that when I get perfect scores on tests…it usually raises the awareness level of teachers for me, and my perfect ACT and SAT’s got quite satisfactory recognition from colleges and universities. That’ usually how it works. Those of us who always get perfect scores really rake in the accolades and the money.</p>

<p>I do think a murder rap would probably be a hindrance.</p>

<p>A 2400 and a couple of 800s on the Subject Matter tests will help your chances.</p>

<p>was anything in this thread serious? LOL</p>
