yep. 229 in texas. 80/80/69. Oddly enough, the 69 in writing was lower than the score i got when i took the psat in 8th grade (i went 72 to 75 to 78 to 69).

But I got 750 math and 800 cr and writing for the sat so that’s all right i guess.

writing the essay as we speak…my counselor wanted it friday but then he also said that “unless you have a lot of Cs and Ds, a low SAT score, or come off sounding like a complete sociopath in your essay you’re good.”

BTW by low SAT score I believe they’re thinking like under 600s in multiple categories. If you got SF and your SAT went up in two categories you’re pretty good unless you slacked in class or can’t write English.

Oddly enough one of the other SFs at my school got a 4/12 on the essay for the SAT so that might screw him up…kid’s really smart but takes regulars english.
