<p>when i took the sat the first time, that’s what i got. i’m a junior and i’m pretty sure it will get to 2250+ before i mail in apps. will having the 2120 on my report when i send in my scores hurt?</p>
<p>Certainly not!! Honestly, adcoms aren’t going to care how low your original score is (search around the forums if you don’t believe me), but regardless of that, a 2120 would never, never, ever be looked down on. Don’t worry about it!!</p>
<p>thanks 10 char</p>
<p>It won’t hurt, but a 2250+ would make your application more competitive for the upper-tier schools.</p>
<p>I had a 2120 when I applied to Chicago, MIT and Pitt this year. In October I raised it to a 2260. As soon as pitt recieved the scores, I was sent a full tuition scholarship. I don’t know if I would have recieved one if I had not increased my scores. </p>
<p>If you can get your score to the 2180 - 2270 threshold, then you’ll be fine.</p>
