Smith School of Business SAT Cutoff

<p>So the word around town, from CCers and students who are on CC is that the SAT cutoff is 1300. Even Businessweek lists the cutoff at 1300. However, the dean says that they review the applicants holistically as there are no GPA/SAT cutoffs. </p>

<p>Hopefully there isn’t a cutoff, because I’m just below 1300. I have a 1280 (660C 620M 690W) and a 4.0/4.46 GPA. </p>

<p>What are your thoughts on this?</p>

<p>What any of us thinks really doesn’t matter, but my GUESS is they could overlook the 20 points on your SAT score based on your grades and if the rest of your application is stellar.
Good luck. It’s going to be a long month waiting.</p>
