SAT Scores

[TheChiScientist]

Seeing how today the national release of test scores for the SAT came out I am curious to see what other SciOlyians got?
I'll start with a score of 1200 (Not the best but hey it is still pretty good)

[PM2017]

1st try: math: 800, english 770 ====> 1570
2nt try: math 730 , english 780====>1510
Overall superscore: 1580

(I may or may not have cared about math the second time around, and conked out after hastily completing all the problems for the calculator section, with more than half the time left...)

Of course you are! 1580 SAT Score is legible for every, single, ivy league. You will have scholarships coming at you left and right. Good luck

Not necessarily - SAT scores alone won't get you through scholarships or the Ivy League. It's pretty easy to get a [near] perfect score if you keep grinding at it for ages, and even then, what's the point? There's so much more to your application than a standardized testing score. Essays and extracurricular show much more than your test score - your test score is just a baseline to make sure you won't flunk once you get there. I mean, I was a semifinalist for a fairly selective scholarship (wish I'd gotten it haha) and my SAT score wasn't a 1600.

1540 most recent (790/750 I think).

But considering he does science olympiad I'm sure he does other extracurricular activities.

Thanks! My GPA leaves something to be desired (at least for someone with my SAT Score...).

regardless, I hate the premise of the SAT. It does not test my potential skills as an engineer. It does not test my intelligence. I only tests how many different problem types I can memorize and comes down to how many accurate guesses I can make on the question I am unsure about.

(mini) Rant over.
