<p>Many posters on CC tend to focus so holistically on SAT scores that they do not see the entire poster’s credentials. I’m not denying that an 1860 is the same as getting a 2250, but what I am saying is that the OP should not feel like it will considerably hold them back. Because I don’t feel that such a thing is true.</p>
<p>For much of the schools on the OP’s list - Boston, American, GW, etc. - an 1860 is actually a very decent score and for others - Brown, Columbia, Harvard - adcoms will look past the weak SAT scores for other credentials that make the candidate look impressive before coming to a judgment.</p>
