I have taken it twice. The first time i got a 1380, then next i got a 1470…but if you take the highest parts from math reading and writing and combine them its a 1500..on a scale og 1600 its a 1040.

Anyway Im going to enter my senior year of highschool and my friend (who hasnt told me her scores) is going to retake it again and is taking a class. She is pressuring me to take the class and said a 1500 isnt good enough.

I want to go to a somewhat decent school where the normal SAT score is about a 1650 to get in. But i have a 3.2 GPA so would that hel?

So basically is a 1500 good enough. If you dont mind could you tell me your SAT scores and if you got into an ok college. SHould i take the class(I never took one for the SATs just online tests) and should i retake it or am i ok?

thanks!

Do you think I could get into Campbell University?I want to become a pharmacist eventually.
I took the SAT for the first time in June and made a 1570 without any preparation. I plan to take it again in October. I am number 11 out of 445 at the end of my junior year. I have a 3.931 cumulative unweighted GPA and a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.639. I am a member of the National Beta Club and the National Honor Society. I do volunteer work and ran cross country in 9th grade. Also, I plan to join more clubs in senior year and do more extracurriculars. Thanks for all the help!

I’m currently and junior and I’m trying to figure out what school I should apply to Early Decision. My top 2 choices are Cornell and Dartmouth. In terms of where I stand as a college applicant. My GPA is 3.9 unweighted and I have 6 APs currently and will be taking 5 more senior year. I focus my efforts in science and math, and I am part of the science and math teams at my school and I am the president of the science team. This year for the science competition I got 1st place (of 63) in my event in regionals and 5th (of 50) at states. For math, my school selected me to participate in a county tournament where i placed 16th of 190. I took the SAT in March with little preparation (no courses or tutors) and got 2120, which I think is low for Dartmouth so I will take it again in June and October and may have a tutor for the summer. I also do a lot of research at several Universities and I have received awards. So I think my resume is alright for either school, but don’t get me wrong. I am not cocky. I know applying to schools like these is a crap shoot, but I think I have a shot. My sister is at Cornell, and if I go there I would probably apply to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I love the outdoors and natural settings. I will probably major in Environmental Studies but at the same time take the courses required for pre-med. I want to be at a school where the students don’t feel like they are directly competing academically against the other students. I want to be in a laid back environment where I know I will have to work hard to do well, but at the same time have a great social life that doesn’t only involve talking about medical school and grades. Where do you think I should apply Early Decision?

So i took a SAT practice test and i got like a 1650 or somewhere in the 1600′s(that is if i got at least a 7 on my essay which i think i can do), i struggled in the CR section but, i mean who doesn’t? I did decent in math and writing. I was disappointed in my score, im aiming for 1900+, i’ve been studying A LOT, because its the summer, and when i say a lot i dont mean like 7 hours, i mean 12 freaking hours at my table doing practice problems every day, yes i said every day thats how bad i want it. Any other recommendations on how to raise my score??

Currently i’ve split my 4 month time period before i take the actual SAT, the first month and a half im going to concentrate in the math section, i bought Kaplan’s SAT math workbook, i’m pleased with it, it challenged me which is good, the 2nd month and a half i’m going to concentrate in the CR and vocabulary since they pretty much go hand in hand with each other. The last month and a half im going to concentrate on the writing section of the test, im going to buy a book for that too. After all of this i plan on taking 1 last practice test, to see how much i improved from my first 1600-1650.
I hope i do good on it, i want to go to UCLA, USC, or USD for computer science. I do dragon boat(paddling sport) and im going to continue to do it through senior year to show commitment, i’ve volunteered for all of the marathons in San Francisco, i’m currently in a academy in my high school, AOIT(Academy of Information Technology) i dont know how that’s going to help but, the more the better.
I’m a 3.75 GPA student, but last semester i got a 4.0 GPA, I’m taking pre calculus next year, and i plan on AP calculus, and Physics honors(theres no AP physics, honors is highest) in my senior year.
I said practice test, i didn’t get a 1600 on the real SAT, i’m studying for it, i only have 4 months, im going to take it in october.
Well, im my workbook, i usually try all the questions first, and if i dont get it after everything ill look in the back but, after i do a couple of problems i usually catch on and i’ll be able to do some of them by myself,

Well for the physical part, i have dragon boat for that, that takes like 3 hours of my day and i’m exhausted after it so ill take a nap.

When i finish all the questions in a section, i usually jump around in the same section and redo the questions again so i get more familiar with the question format.

I’m a Sophomore with a 3.5 unweighted GPA. I haven’t taken the ACT or SAT in high school yet but took the ACT in 7th grade and got a 29. I also got a 5 in AP European History, and history is my weakest subject. I plan on taking 7 more AP tests in high school. If I raise my GPA and my ACT score improves (as it should based on knowledge gained) when I take it next year, what are my chances of getting in after my senior year?

I am in my sophomore year in high school. Last year i didn’t do so well, this year I improved, but still could be better. I have around a 3.1 average. I go to a top private school located in New England, where the college placement is excellent. If i finish this year strong and can stay around a 3.1 or above, can I still get into a good college? (considering i do well junior and senior year)
I play many sports and do a lot of extracurriculars
I plan on doing a lot of preparation for the SAT.
I am also African American
Can I still get into the following colleges and similar colleges based on the facts about myself stated above?:
- UVA
- UNC
- Georgetown
- Villanova
- other comparable schools
