What were/are your SAT scores and what school do you go to / want to go to? What major?

I know gpa/sports/extra curricular activities matter a lot too but I just want to see how I did.

I'm currently a junior in highschool, so I can't provide the latter info, but I just got my scores back today

Critical Reading-750
Math-800
Writing-630
Essay-6
Out of 2400-2180
Out of 1600-1550


Thank god the writing doesn't matter for most schools.
I'm pretty much above the scores for every school I want to apply to, but not so much for GPA [3.4]. However, I will be applying for art programs, so a portfolio is a major factor in acceptance, so if I'm lucky my portfolio and SAT scores will offset my mediocre GPA.

My top choice is Carnegie Melon.

Others include MassArt, Syracuse, RIT, and RISD.

And I'm throwing UNH, UVM, and CU@Boulder in the pile for now in case I decide not to pursue industrial design and just want to snowboard a lot.

You got a perfect score on the math?
Dude those are fucking insane scores.
Props to you man.

Danke

if you want to check your SAT score against your chances of getting into a particular school, usually the school's website has the average SAT score, or 25-75 percentile range of scores.

another good site for looking up that kind of info is:

www.princetonreview.com

i never took the SAT. something about it just really irritates me, more so than other standardized tests. like it somehow thinks it's hot shit. i dunno, ha.

so instead i took the ACT, which is pretty much interchangeable with the SAT for most colleges, as it should be.

got a 28 the first time, 30 the second. would have to look up individual section scores.

most people take these kinds of tests twice. assuming you prepare well, your score is bound to improve by about 10% at least.

edit: oh and i got into ohio state, ohio university, and mcgill university. boston university rejected me, heh. ended up going to ohio state. still an undecided major.

SAT 2010 total score. I don't remember my individuals

got into all the UC's except UCLA and CAL :( and university of washington. I go to UC Davis.

SAT 1400-- 720 math, 680 reading.

Accepted to the Univ. of Utah. Didn't apply elsewhere, but I got my scholarship so I'm satisfied. :mad:

EDIT: nshanin

The total was just over 1600, with mid-500's in each category. I got into UH Manoa.:)

OT: Finally graduated! Class of '08!

2280, Biochemistry/English double major
currently at OSU w/ full ride, but got into several higher tier institutions

I got a 2080.

I'm looking into McGill, but I really need to raise my math score so I'm probably going to take the SAT again in the fall.

1570: Math 790 Verbal 780
Currently at Penn State with a double major in math and chemical engineering. I never took the new one with the essay.

Those are some crazy fucking scores. Props to all of you.

I took them in May and only got an 1170 out of 1600.

590 on critical reading and 580 on math. Are my scores that bad? Most people in my school got in the 1400's out of 2400.

^I think 1400/2400 would be considered average or maybe a bit above average. A friend of mine got 1300/2400 the first time around and said that was the average.

Your scores aren't that bad, I think some of the people here are exaggerating, it's not impossible but getting above a 2000 is very rare. You'd probably get more realistic results asking people at your school what they got.

I got a 1680 out of 2400 by the way.

I did super shitty on the writing portion.

510 on that. It also said I got an 8 on my essay.

Super SATs = 1810/2400

Not saying which college I'm attending but my major is poly sci and I'm a pre-law student

i got a 1380/2400

im attending rhode island college

I got 2010

Reading - 700
Math - 710
Writing - 600

My essay sucked. I quit writing halfway into the third paragraph. I've heard most colleges don't look at it anyway so even if I was going to college, why bother trying on that anyway?

Critical Reading- 790
Math- 690
Writing- 680
--->Essay- 9

Total- 2140
Old school (1600) total- 1450

Took it once, think I'm done. Wish I'd done better on the Math.

And I'm hoping for a National Merit Scholarship. I got a 217 on the PSATs which put me in the 99th percentile.

Damn National Merit, I got into 97th but it won't matter what happens since I graduated early and my uni won't accept National Merit stuff after Freshman year.

Sat: 1410/1600
GPA: 3.9 Cumulative
School: University of California Santa Cruz
Major: Chemistry BS

I don't really remember what good scores are anymore. I didn't even know they changed the SAT's to be out of 2400. Crazy times.

1510/2400. I know, I know, it's bad.
I had a 3.7GPA overall though, and had many extracurriculars.
I'm attending CSULB, with a major in Civil Engineer, and I hope to get into UCI for grad school.

3.8 gpa
1960/2400

Definitely not my best. I'll take it again.

Then again, my friend got a 2300, but he is... well... socially retarded. So it makes me feel better knowing that the SAT is not everything.

I think some of the people here are exaggerating, it's not impossible but getting above a 2000 is very rare.

Psh, acolyte.

Did I mention you specifically??? No, I just found it odd that the majority of the people on totse are scoring in the top 5-10% in the nation. I wasn't calling out anyone in particular.

I'd take a pic of mine but I lost my camera. :( The people who post on this forum are likely to get in the top 10%. Totseans in general were most likely to be high taking it. :rolleyes:

Totse is generally smart: Read, Know, Do.

Most of the other subforums are full of geniuses though. BB, GH, etc.

Im pretty average. Got into most florida schools, could have gotten into UF if I didn't have such a bad GPA (3.9) No scholarships.

How is that average?^^^ Isn't that WAY above average?

How is 3.9 a bad gpa?


Did you actually get denied because you had a 3.9?





I wonder if some people on here bullshit or this is just a more intelligent forum in general compared to the average of the others.

That's interesting because I got practically those same scores (except reversed) and that EXACT same GPA and got into the Univ of Utah w/ a full ride. Interesting... :confused:

Im getting my results in two days. Ill post them on here when i get them. I got in the 98th percentile for psat but for some reason i didnt get the National Merit Scholarship

3.9 could be bad if your school does weighted GPA (where it's possible to get over 4.0). My school DIDN'T do that, and I had 3.5 or 3.6 I think. But our valadectorian and whatever the hell the other ones are called were slacker fucks who took easy classes for the easy A. FAGS!

1040.

2200 Overall

780 - Math
750 - Reading
670 - Writing

Going to Purdue Next Year because I only got a 3.4 gpa out of a weighted 4.0.

I got a 2080.

I speak fairly well in French, but McGill's an English-speaking university, so it's all good.

People often throw HB in with the stupid forums, but it takes a great amount of intelligence to act as stupid as many of us do. HB is about the only forum I post in, and I like to think I've done pretty well.

How about some normal people post their scores.

You'll have to go to another forum. Maybe Yahoo! Answers. They're fucking dolts over there.:mad:

I don't mean it like that. What I meant was that the scores posted are obviously from some extremely dedicated and/or intelligent people and it would be nice to see more "average" type scores.

Why? I truly don't understand why you'd rather have mediocre people in your forums. There are people here with "average" scores; totse is just a different place from the real world, you'll have to get used to that. I suppose for the sake of diversity it would be nice if some people got 400s on their SATs, but honestly, what good would that do? It would just further the stereotype of totseans as shit-huffing, raid-sniffing, diphen-smoking (http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?p=10312172), highlighter-inserting dumbasses. I for one like my totse to be of high calibre.

Now if you'll excuse me my monocle needs adjusting.

I wouldn't. I just want more average scores so I can see how I am doing.

College Board tells you the average. It's not something to shoot for, or even to look at. Compare yourself to your potential, it's the only comparison that you're completely in control of.

But see, Dr. Phil, I know what the average fucking scores are. That's not what this thread is about though.

This thread is about the SAT scores of totseans, which are what they are, and won't be any less because you will it. This isn't psychology either, the only way to compare yourself is with your potential; one day you'll figure that out--but looking at your test scores I'm not entirely certain. ;)

Maybe the scores are high because people on totse aren't like the rest of the world AND because people who frequent this sub-forum and are willing to post their scores aren't like the rest of totse.

You two need to shut the fuck up. This thread isn't for or about you. This was for ME to compare myself with similar scores.
I appreciate all who posted.
I'm not bitching about how low mine were nor am I bitching about how some of you are boasting. I highly respect your scores.

Despite this, GTFO.
