<p>I took SAT last month. I got 1440… I didnt study AT ALL. Im from istanbul…
if i practice in summer, like everyday, will i improve???
is it a real bad score?
i want to get in fordham
ty!</p>
<p>Well, I am an international student too and I got a 1770.
It was mas first time and i would consider it bad.
Just plain “bad”. </p>
<p>I will spend my summer studying and hopefully I will raise. I only studied for a week before the test and that’s what I got. Hopefully, a whole summer will help me :)</p>
<p>But studying is CRUTIAL for a god score because I would say 1440 is a very bad score…
Try to study a lot over the summer and do many practice tests.</p>
<p>wowww… how did you do that 
I mean I studied abroad in my junior year… and i will continue in my senior year… but i didnt care much about the test. i wasnt even stressing. and TIME was my issue!!! math was easy but i skipped some questions cause they seemed too long (but easy) and i just didnt know the method lol. PASSAGES killed me. literally. i had to skip one passage cause of time lol…</p>
<p>Im international, I never studied abroad, I got 1870 and I was very disappointed as I was aiming so much for 2000+. I had hit the 2000 mark quite a few times on practice tests, but it just didn’t work out for me that time.</p>
<p>I think for an international student who is a non-native English speaker, anything above 1900 is good. That’s just my opinion of course.</p>
<p>im also an international student at an international school (colombia)</p>
<p>average at my school is 1600
average for latinos is like 1400
best SAT in the recent story of my school is 2200</p>
<p>i expect to get about a 1800 or a 1900</p>
<p>For internationals it is much harder to get into American colleges, therefore their scores, and overall application, have to be considerably better than those of native applicants. It is very hard for an international to be accepted to top 50 with SAT’s below 2100.</p>
<p>Not necessarily. Some universities really want international students, while others don’t want them as bad.</p>
<p>I recommend we all study during the summer xD.
Doener, it might be true that it is harder for an International student, but they still make holistic approaches and if you have a strong application, an decent SAT score won’t make a big difference.
If all you have to offer is a 2100 + SAT scoe, then you shoulndn’t even consider a top 50.</p>
<p>I have an album of the songs I’ve written… and my sat is not perfect lol… but i know french and turkish fluently. i studied in a boarding school in us for 1 in high school plus will graduate from that school. im in varsity tennis and theatre. I worked 20 hours in summer in a hospital to help ppl, read etc. SAT scores are very low- 1550 etc. but the other stuff are great… so i guess i cant get in NYU? lol thats messed up</p>
<p>Stop worrying get studying.</p>

I’m pretty sure that NYU has really strict financial aid rules, especially for internationals (they’re need-aware, which means they consider need in their admissions), so if you need financial aid, it doesn’t matter what SAT scores you get- even if you had a 2300, you still would probably not get FA. I recommend you look elsewhere if that’s the case. Also, a 1550 makes it essentially impossible to get in; you need at least a 1900 or 2000. Their average is about 2000 (I believe), but the lower half of applicants are generally hooked (URM, athlete, etc.), so the international students have to be HIGHLY qualified to get in… which you probably aren’t if you got a 1550. I mean, it is technically possible for you to get in, but you really do need to raise your scores for any legitimate chance.</p>
<p>Just to add I’m also an international student got a 1800 going to retake to reach my target of 2000+ had one section that really really let me down in terms of marks deducted, so just going to revise that section and hopefully retake during my ‘‘senior’’ year</p>
<p>International students are weighed against other international applicants. By way, the scores need to be much higher because internationals taking the SAT are part of a much more elite group of students, usually.</p>
<p>1950 after 12 days of intense cramming. International student here too, any idea which liberal arts college is within my range?</p>
