SAT failure

[Wnh5001]

i got a 990 on sat + 3.0 gpa and got into state school =s

 

[aphex]

I was mid 1400's when i took mine.... Compared to my friends (and my brother who all got 1540 and above), i was a failure.... Its all relative.

 

[Powermoloch]

I failed mines? so what, I make it up in my university lol ^_^

 

[morkus64]

I got a 1440 on the old system - scores only matter so far as how much the school you want to go to cares, and generally good grades will make up for poor test scores.

 

[Cooler]

any one get score of 1337?

eh... it's different if you take it all at once

 

[BillyBatson]

did they add a 3rd section? max use to be 1600, 800 for math and 800 for reading or whatever

 

[rubix]

well back in 1995 i barely broke 1000 i think. i am borderline retarded.

 

[Ronin]

Meh...1520/1600 the first and only time I took it. The whole grammar section thing can bite my nut..glad I didn't have to deal with it.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Old SAT was 1390 for me

but SAT IIs which mattered twice as much in the UC system...

800 Writing
800 Math IIC
780 Chemistry

So sure my 1390 didn't stand out, but I got better admissions than a lot of 1400s, 1500s people.

SAT IIs FTW! ACT = east coast idiots

 

[Ronin]

So, for those schools that use the ACT as a reference...they're full of stupid people?

ACT is Midwest idiot. SATII's are king in the east coast. The hell are you talking about.

Get good grades, regardless of difficulty, and you can still go almost anywhere.

grades don't matter. test scores do.

i got 1520 on my sats and i got into everywhere i applied.... with a 2.7 gpa.

also, having a bitch-kicking essay helps... as do extracurricular activities.

u of michigan
purdue
u of maryland
u of md baltimore co
u of virginia
elon
u of louisville
penn state (i lost a bet with a friend, so i had to apply to there)
ohio state (same reason as above)
western kentucky university
u of kentucky

in the end, i decided to go with western kentucky unversity... like the dumbass i was (yeah, it was because of a girl...).

I applied to much harder schools with my 1530 and 3.0 unweighted, over 800 hours of community service. edit: (and a year off after HS of "paid" work with Habitat for Humanity in San Mateo County, CA)

Harvard
Princeton (3rd gen legacy)
Yale
Brown (Great Uncle had a building)
Penn (Grandpa trustee emeritus)
Cornell
Stanford
Cal
UCLA
Northwestern
Vanderbilt

Even though I feel I am not only an acceptable student, but someone who could shine at college, there are so many kids who studied more and will have much better grades. Thus why I expect 0/11.

Perhaps getting in off the waitlist somewhere I hope.

 

[IAteYourMother]

someone i know got a fricking 2400... craziness...

I'm guessing you can expect to hear from atleast UCLA Vandy NW Brown Cornell. Probably not Princeton/Yale/Harvard.

I had 1520 3.9 and 500hrs and I got canned from Harvard/Princeton/Yale , wailisted by Stanford and Penn

 

[archcommus]

So on the old test that'd be like a 1300, and you're complaining? I got a 1250 and got into two relatively selective schools.
