Are my SAT scores good enough?
I just got my SAT scores: 680 680 verbal 720 math writing I have a GPA of 4.0, I am in a national athletics team representing Canada and making tons of volunteer work that I am very passionate. I really want to go to Princeton or Stanford I wonder if I should take the exam to improve my chances in January … I am just below the average 50% are accepted according to statistics from Princeton. Any advice?
Retake the test can not hurt, but his SAT scores (which are quite good and apparently typical of a student in the schools, since post) and PAM are not the main selling points to Princeton or Stanford. They have a huge excess of applicants with high degrees of ridicule and SAT scores for they look at other things to do, and in his essay and interview. I was 800 math and 760 verbal before returning have a score of freelance writing. I had more a 3.9 average. There was no way I could afford to go to a school like Princeton or Stanford, but I interviewed at Yale just for fun. They further or less had no interest in me. They are looking for what sets you apart from the other smart kids. They care about their volunteer work and hobbies and passions. Them want to know that you do not just spend all their time studying to get 4.0. They care if you have a family history of the university. They care about their reason to go there, and how, as an alumnus, are reflected in them. But in terms of advice, he had just written a great essay, get big points if there are letters in the application, I do not think it matters much if you take the test again or not – most people do not change much when they do – and I would like to make applications as everyone does. That is, these two schools that are your best options, a number of schools which are their second choices, but which is likely to come in, and perhaps a School of last resort or two you will enter
