Which SAT score is better?

Test Preparation
1

<p>On my first SAT I got a 2160(CR 700, M 760, W 700). On my second SAT I got a 2220(CR 780, M 710, W 730). Which score looks better for someone applying into a business school? Are these scores, along with a 35 ACT, strong enough to apply to top schools like ND, Penn(Wharton), NYU, UChicago, Berkley, and Stanford? thanks for any opinions</p>

<p>Well the top scores you named above tend to superscore, or take the highest from each of the categories and add it together. That would be a 780 CR, 760 M, and 730 W which adds to a 2270 total. That and a 35 ACT is more than fine! These schools tend to value your transcript (grades), extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations more than your scores, which are already top!</p>

<p>The higher SAT score is better, even in the CR+M aspect. The 2270 super score, 2220 single-sitting and 35 ACT are all very solid scores for the top schools you mentioned. Of course, scores alone aren’t going to get you into those colleges.</p>
