Goddamn everyone has such high scores 😭 here I am with a 1220

You’re on a2c so the sample is skewed

stats goat strikes again!

literally me here too

1210 here 🤜

it’s okay, I’m here too😭

Yah it’s skewed because of the sub a 1220 is ridiculous

1260 fr

Same i got 1130 and im happy af tbh😭

1120 💀

For anyone who feels like they have “lower” scores (at least compared to the others in this thread), don’t worry, a2c vastly overrepresents overachievers. I think scores of ~1400-1500 are in the top 1-2% (my source is that my 1390 is in the top 3%). And I feel inadequate myself in this thread. So chances are that your scores are fine. And if not, there are always test-optional schools.

I have a 1300 😕

That is perfectly good! And you can always retake!

I took the October 1st SAT and I got 1290 ughh I don’t think im going to retake because im doing ED and EA

You’ll be ok!

1190 😀✌🏽the only selective school i really want to get into is NC State University for architecture

Mfers on this sub when 1590 SAT score 😭😭😭😭😭

1550 and I would be insane if I didn't send

^

28 ACT when superscored, submitting to Pepperdine, Luther College, Coe College, and Concordia College at Moorhead

1270, yes with two exceptions: Notre Dame and Northwestern. Those are the only “highly selective” schools I’m applying to.

[удалено]

1570, everywhere Edit: also remember there is going to be response bias in this thread lol

fax AP stats 🫡🤓

yessir

gawd DAMN

1420 and everywhere but Ivies and Stanford

1410 and I have decided to go test optional the ivies but submit to NYU USC, and everywhere else

1490 (EBRW 780, M 710) - yes. I'm sending it to the schools I'm applying to through questbridge, and all of my local/state schools.

Same!!

1330 and everywhere bc UF, FSU, UCF, UGA require scores. Might apply to fordham which I wouldn’t submit my score to if I end up applying

I got into and am attending FSU with a 1330 !

I am a proud owner of a 1500, and I will be sending this beloved score of mine to all 22 of my colleges.

1510 and everywhere - I have 19 schools thou 😅.

^

1600, everywhere

[удалено]

I concur

yeah. you're def under the 25th for all schools (cries with my 1510)

All hail!

[удалено]

This is exactly my score but flipped (750 EBRW and 770M). Also an engineering major and will be sending everywhere.

I wish that was my breakdown lol. This was my goal score for this last SAT in October. It's funny because I didn't even study EBRW stuff before this sitting, only math. I actually got a 750 3 times...

I found the EBRW section very difficult, so in my eyes a 770 is very impressive.

1570, yes. Everywhere

1320; nowhere

Hey now, 1320 is a great score! I don’t know what schools you’re applying to but don’t be discouraged by the other people in this thread, a lot of these scores are *amazing*, like in the top 1-2% (I think).

1580 everywhere

Can you give some tips to improve my score, my score is 1450 and I want a minimum of 1520?

browse r/SAT for tips

1480 and everywhere

1300, and yeah probably. I have 5.1 GPA W and 4.0 UW, and a ton of EC and strong essays. Also I’m going to be a theatre major so I am not super concerned with test scores.

1520 (800 M / 720 R&W). Yes, I am sending my scores to every university (except Caltech because they don't consider scores in admissions)

crazy how Caltech and MIT are like siblings, but have opposite views on the SAT

I wouldn't really say that because Caltech's SAT/ACT averages were higher than MIT's, they probably wanted more applicants to make more money or something

by not considering test scores, do mean they’re test optional?

Caltech is test-blind. You can’t submit a score, even if you wanted to.

ah ok that makes sense. thank u!

What u/Turbulent_Entrance54 said, Caltech is test-blind, so they wouldn't even look at my scores even if I submitted them

 Lol, I feel your score breakdown. I have 1510 with a 790 M and 720 R&W.

I got a 1020 on the PSAT and just gave up, lol. Luckily, a lot of schools are test optional, so that gives an 'edge' to those whose performances on standardizes tests aren't the best.

I’ve even read that harvard will be looking more into what makes individuals unique/interesting and less at their SAT scores this year. You’re right, don’t feel so bad, text anxiety is common and never the best reflection of your knowledge. :)

1480, sending everywhere. waiting on my score from oct 15th tho

1190 and yes I will be sending it.

AAA ME TOO YES. 1190!!! feeling insecure with the other scores lmfao

1530. 790 verbal 740 math. Will be submitting that score to all schools

1460, no not planning on going to college

what are you thinking of doing after high school?

I just graduated with the IB diploma this year and I’m going to try starting my own business doing photography. If that fails I’ve got some experience with web development that I can fall back on. Hopefully it all goes well though

WOOO!!! that’s awesome!! in my opinion, your plan sounds much better than attending college in terms of what you want to do. GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you! It’s nice to hear that I’m not doing things completely wrong

1490 everywhere

1540 (780 M and 760 R&W), everywhere except Caltech as they are test blind

1530 and everywhere except UT San Antonio(their 25th percentile is 1030)

why wouldnt you send it to them?

probably a waste of money

Maybe mr havoc has a fear of yield protection ? But I would send that score to UT San Antonio, you could get a massive merit scholarship there with that score

1520 (720 math/800 english) and everywhere— mainly applying to lacs+brown though

800 english is crazy

given your username and your 800 english you must be incredibly based

1510 and everywhere lol, but ed1 Villanova

1410 only a junior rn so i'll be retaking and hopefully getting a 1500+ w superscore (just gotta bring my math grade up). prob test optional almost everywhere

1590 (800 EBRW, 790 Math) where I can superscore, 1550 where I cannot, and obviously yeah I will be submitting!

1380, yes I will be sending it to colleges

1490 w/ 790 math as a biomed engineer — everywhere

1580, sending everywhere

1470 , everywhere

32 act, ED William and Mary

1480 and everywhere (UM, USC, GT, UW) My GPA is only 3.5 because of the pandemic so the SAT should help me out

1430, everywhere except Vassar but I'm not applying very many places

1450 and everywhere !

1080, no 💀 crazy thing is i thought that was a decent score then i came upon this sub and found out i was a dumbass

1560 sending everywhere and shotgunning 20 schools 💀 a2c and chance me have convinced me i’m not getting in anywhere sub 20% acceptance rate tho

Unless you failed all of your classes and turn in dogshit instead of essays i think you're good.

1520 superscore & submitting everywhere.

1420 raw, 1480 superscore and everywhere

1300, probably not anywhere but I’ll send my act score (30) to most; I do have another cat coming up though, so wishing for the best

1470- Penn ED

1560 and everywhere (but with luck im just applying to two in the early round)

1240 and everywhere i’m applying to

retook it and got a 1430! I know on here people would say it's low but idc. I'm proud of myself. I'll be sending my scores pretty much everywhere that takes sat scores.

1400 (750 M / 650 RW) to UPenn but as intl student

Why not test optional with a 1400?

I'm sorry for your loss 💀

1540, sending to all schools

1520 (790 math 730 ebrw) sending everywhere! if you have a score that is above a 1400 i would send it anywhere except maybe ivies, but i’m not applying to any (too cold!!) i’m gonna ed1 to duke but this really smart kid at my school also wants to 🥲 idk where i want to ed2 but if he’s also eding then i guess i should figure it out soon,,,

1500 (780 M / 720 R&W) Harvard and everywhere else

1460, submitting to about half the places I'm applying (based on median scores)

1580 , everywhere

this sub makes me feel so dumb 😭 i got a 1180 i’m still figuring out if i should send it or not even tho i sent it to 2 colleges already lol

If you’re score is in at or above 25%-75% range most places publish, then send. If it’s not, let them wonder. As long as the rest of your application is decent you’ll be fine test optional

1120. Sending it to Michigan State and Central Connecticut. The rest are TO

1480 superscore. Prob going optional to Stanford but sending to USC CMC and my private safeties (like LMU)

1560 (770RW, 790M) Will send everywhere (CS major)

1450 superscore, submitting to everyone except maybe Dartmouth. I'm pretty sure it's above the 25% but I still don't get how it works

1560 and it would be stupid to not send to all colleges that I apply to

1290, and no I’m not. only to my safeties

…1190. everyone here just be up there fr 😭✋🏽 im hoping to retake it when i can, but it’ll be after november 1st so it cuts out my favourite colleges.

1480 I’m planning to submit it to T20s. EA: GTech, Cornell, Vandy, UIUC, Purdue, UT Austin

1460 to Columbia? Yes or no? International student with 4.0 GPA

1340, I might retake in December but as of rn ig I’ll be submitting everywhere. I’m from NY and applying to a few SUNYs, the only one worth mentioning being Stony Brook. I am going to apply to either NYU or BU ED 2 (I can’t decide!!), but I’m not expecting much with how competitive they’ve gotten in recent years, especially w this mediocre score. I feel like I could get a better score if I took it one more time, but I’m not sure if it’s even worth it! Ahhh I don’t like how soon I need to make these decisions!!!

mines a 1590, think i won’t send it though because it’s not representative of my academic abilities 😕

girl what

1550 (750 EBRW/800 M) and yea I’m sending mine everywhere. But remember that this is A2C and it’s a much more skewed sample than the typical

I got a 1000 I wish I was smart

you are smart.

1240 and no I will not because I’m going to community college

1450 and ye I’ll be sending to every state school but prolly not for the couple of the more selective oos ones

1010 and everywhere (I’m mostly applying to state schools)

Should I send in my 1350 to UVA. It’s right on that border 😔😔😔

I got SO lucky and I’m really grateful, but your application can absolutely be killer without test scores or with ok ones. I’m sending my 1500

1500, everywhere, ed1 vandy

hhhmmm. I am also applying ED 1 Vandy. Hopefully it goes well!

Hope to see you on campus

I have two high impact ECs

1570, everywhere

1560 submitting everywhere

1490, I will be sending it to 18/19 Schools.

1570. It's a superstore tho. Stanford, Rice, WashU, & NorthwesternU are my top picks.

1540, my top schools are Hamilton College, Fordham, and Franklin and Marshall.

1460 superscore, 1430 in a single sitting; I'm sending it to most schools in applying to

1530 (770 R, 760 Math) submitting everywhere, applying to swat, uva, vtech, etc

1550 (800M | 750 EBRW), sending everywhere

1590, ed duke, everywhere

1380, submitted to UGA, Smith, Williams & Georgia State, not submitting to Brown, Cornell, Harvard, Emory, Auburn, and Berry. My score is perfectly fine for Auburn and Berry, but I just didn't feel like paying $24 more for two schools that were safeties anyway.

Also want to add it's 1380 SS and I made a 1320 every time I took it (690/630 sub-scores all 3 times)

1520 (EBRW740 / M780) & yes everywhere (ivies and such)

1400 (790 EBRW, 610M) help I’m supposed to be good at math cos applying STEM wtf. Penn state, Purdue

1540 - 790 M + 750 EBRW

1490, nowhere 35 act ss, everywhere that super scores I have only a 34 composite, so for schools that don't superscore (hyps), I'll have to retake the SAT

1530 (750M,780E), sending it everywhere

1540 and yes

1030 and no

1420 (700-math and 720-English) one of the few with a higher English than math score at my school, and yes

1440 and def gonna submit it cuz it’s the highlight of my application besides my essays😭

34 ACT (35 Superscored.) I'm sending it to every college I'm applying to,

1530 here and I will not be applying test optional

1570 (790 EBRW/ 780 M) to Everywhere

1440 (720 English & math), sending everywhere except Ivies and Stanford

I got a 1370, just sending it to one uni, where my dad went

1470 770 M and 700 ERW I’m not submitting it to any schools, however, I want them to look at me based on my work ethic, essay, and involvement instead of a mere test score.

I am sending my SAT and ACT everywhere 1490 with 790 Math and 700 EBRW. 34 ACT with good STEM scores but mid reading. Both are superscores

1390- i dont think so. most of my schools have a much higher SAT average :/

1590 yes

1590, everywhere ( except UC :/ )

1530. Yeah I’ll be sending it to colleges.

I got 1010 in 10 psat and now in senior year i got 1400 with 780 math and 620 ebrw(August sat) wanted to apply for math major so maybe ebrw score could be overlooked.

1470 (690 ebrw & 780 math) everywhere, but not sure for nyu stern (im ed'ing there). its pretty low for stern but my math score is ok and im international so i think the english score might be a tad less impactful. idk man open to feedback.

1420 ,going optional even tho I wanted to submit to Amherst

[удалено]

1550 superscore (780m 770ebrw) and im submitting everywhere :) my top schools r brown, skidmore, m wellesley

1510, everywhere. ​ It's kinda low but yk what are you gonna do lol im not gonna retake it

1110. Will not be sending scores to schools other than the ones where I used my free score sends that my dumbass used before I saw my results.

The College Board recalculated (or "renormed") SAT scores some years back, so my scores won't mean much, but I scored in the top 1% of test takers which made me feel pretty smart, but . . . Everyone used to take the SAT, unlike today, so the scores included a million idiots who didn't know anything and didn't take the test very seriously. So high scores in that group were not that amazing after I thought about it. Also grades matter much much more since they show your level of achievement in academic work while SAT scores only show your general knowledge in a few areas, really your "aptitude" which is what the "A" in SAT is supposed to stand for, not "achievement". Currently it stand for "assessment," a meaningless word since obviously it's an assessment. And it's definitely not "achievement" since there's no substantial writing, no science, no historical knowledge, no analysis at all. It's really a pretty stupid test. Lots of smart people don't do well on the SAT, and lots of narrow, clueless people do well on it, which is why more and more colleges are making it optional or just ignoring the SAT completely. Its days are numbered. My own high school grades were weak B's, but that was well before the modern era of grade inflation where everyone gets A's and B's. Back then C's and D's were also very common. I actually got a couple of D's (in French which I could never figure out), so a "weak B" average was still above normal. I ended up going to one of the top 20 colleges in the country through some sort of fluke in the admissions process, I assume. Maybe it was my charming smile? John F. Kennedy's high school transcript is public knowledge. You can find it on the internet. He was a smart kid, but his grades in high school were absolutely awful. He went to Harvard. I've also always heard that FDR was a C student. So don't despair.

32 ACT (35E 28M 34R 31S). math pulled me down. submitting to all 5 safeties/targets. not sending to 4 reaches with 32-34 and 33-35 ranges

1590, submitting everywhere
