<p>…couldn’t believe it…afraid of getting a correction notice from the college board…lucky lucky lucky,</p>
<p>lol </p>
<p>btw i will be giving my first shot on nov 7 </p>
<p>Hopefully i might follw ur instincts :D</p>
<p>My friends (international) one guys got 2040 total, other got 2090.
I myself gonna take it tomorrow.</p>
<p>…good luck to both of you…</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone taking the SAT this weekend! I’m taking the Subject Tests on Saturday, as I’ve signed up for the December SAT I…</p>
<p>I decided to do the SAT again.</p>
<p>M: 800
CR: 790
W: 770
Total: 2360</p>
<p>Oddly enough writing was my lowest. Good thing its the least weighted SAT score.</p>
<p>^ARe you not satisfied with a 2360? Why are you taking it again? Those lack of 40pts (if you’re aiming for a 2400, which at this point, im sure you are) are not going to damper your application. Just sayin…</p>
<p>No no I had 2280 before. I decided to redo my SAT, I had a very low writing.</p>
<p>Oh. Sorry for the misinterpretation.
I thought it read “I will decide to do the SAT’s again”</p>
<p>I do not find anything wrong with retaking a 2300+. The 2400 is a personal goal for many and there is some self-gratification involved as well. In addition, a 2400 can give a college’s adcom the impression that a student has a limitless academic aptitude and accept him or her to not only exercise this capacity but also boost the college’s incoming students profile. I scored a 2340 in October which I am not satisfied with since I always score higher in practice so I feel that the 2340 does not accuractely reflect my true abilities. Also, how does a 2340 set you apart? It really doesn’t.</p>
<p>Mifune… so many things wrong there.</p>
<p>First of all retaking 2300+ is greatly looked down upon as being “that kid who has to get a perfect score”.</p>
<p>2340 lets see, only 2000 people have higher SAT scores than you. Lest we forget HYPSM average SAT scores are probably ~2280, not 2390.</p>
<p>Above all else SAT is looked at less than GPA and ECs.</p>
<p>“Above all else SAT is looked at less than GPA and ECs.”</p>
<p>I guess I can agree with ECs > SAT, but I’ve heard several admissions officers/school counselors say that they depend much more on general academic rigor (tough courses) and class rank than purely GPA, and SAT more than GPA, mostly because there are so many different scales and GPA inflation depending on weight and courses that the student chose.</p>
<p>Sorry by GPA I included the rigor factor, and UW GPA.</p>
<p>I did horrible, I suck at the SAT, but here is my breakdown.</p>
<p>SAT Critical Reading: 560
SAT Math: 610
SAT Writing: 570</p>
<p>Improved in writing by 50 points (got a 520 last time), but decreased in critical reading by 30 points and stayed the same in math. I prefer the ACT’s anyways :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In order of importance
Transcript (not GPA) > SAT > EC’s</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Retaking 2300 just as a personal goal is fine, but why are you trying to set yourself apart with your SAT scores? No matter what score you get, hundreds of other kids are going to get the same score. Your EC’s and essays are what should set you apart from the other applicants.</p>
