SAT Score

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
#1

<p>Hello! I just finished my freshman year with top notch grades (97.4/100 GPA), I still have to take the SAT and I'm really worried that I'll do poorly. </p>

<p>With regards to retakes, if I get a low SAT score (Ex. 1600-1700), it will definitely not look wonderful on my transcript.</p>

<p>My question is if I get a low SAT score, I have great grades, and participate in a lot of extracurricular activities, will I get into the college of my choice? My choices are:</p>

<p>Duke University
Johns Hopkins University
Boston University
University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>There are others...</p>

<p>I still have to take the SAT! Really worried!</p>

<p>Most people don't take the SAT until their junior year, so you have plenty of time. If you want to get a start now, though, you can always check out the stickied threads for general advice (the most important of which is that you should get the Official SAT Study Guide). </p>

<p>With 1600-1700 on the SAT, no. To be competitive at Duke, Penn, and Johns Hopkins, aim for at least 2100, preferably a fair bit higher.</p>
