sat scores

The minimum seems to be 1,100 on the math and verbal with big schools, leaving out the essay.

Perhaps my memory has failed.........
but I remember the max SAT score as 1600, as in a combined 800 verbal and 800 math.

it is now a 2400, and includes an essay harverdad

obviously Ive been out of the get-into-college biz for some time.....

Depending on the school, it certainly puts you in the mix. Your grades obviously have a major impact as well.

i got an 1140 on my last SAT i took. most the schools were delighted when they saw thats what i got except for one...stanford. go figure lol. most the schools i've heard from say they want AT LEAST 1000. Also, i think most the schools dont really look at the essay part that much. just my opinion tho, i could be wrong.

KayMart, I think you are talking on the old 1600 scale and jimwis is talking on the new 2400 scale. The 1140 on the new scale would equate to a 760 on the old scale and that is not going to get you in many places. Of course the 1140 on the old scale would convert to a 1710 on the new scale which is close to what jimwis was asking about and that would get you into most state schools assuming you have good grades.

In addition you can knock an additional 100 points off the entrance requirements for every every 1 mph your fastball exceeds 90.

i got a 1750 on the new SAT, but still like i said, not many colleges asked what i got out of 2400,they asked what i got out of 1600. i think i said that in my last post. but im sorry if it didnt across like that.

Kay- lots of schools are still playing around with the "new" SAT- treating the verbal and math separate-like an "old" SAT score with max of 1600 and the writing part separate (the writing part of the "new" SAT is simply the old SATII writing test).

Basic translation is an average score of 600 on the various sections-so a 1200 on old test, 1800 on new test, will get you in the mix most anywhere except maybe an Ivy, Stanford, Rice, Northwestern and LAC D3s like Amherst, Pomona, Williams, Swarthmore.

At 1750 you're pretty much right there as an athlete for most schools, except as noted above. If they are asking still for your score "out of 1600" they want to know your verbal and math and not the writing section (for whatever reason I don't know except, as I said at the start, many schools are still messing around with how to treat the new SAT and there is already talk of changing it 'cause the 3 sections now makes it just too darn long and scores have been dropping and those alums only wanna see freshman with those big, prep course inflated SAT scores)

heybatter, thanks, i think you might be confused. i wasnt asking any questions about the SAT. i was just saying what i had and that most every college except stanford said they liked it.

It depends on how you define "top school". As a point of reference, my daughter had a similar SAT score, got a 28 on the ACT and had a 4.32 GPA (4.0 scale) and received many academic scholarship offers from various DI and private DIII schools but didn't get any interest from the elite or Ivy schools. Considering you're in Boston, I'm not sure if you're looking at Harvard or BC but I doubt it would cut it there unless they're recruiting you for sports and I'm guessing that might even be a stretch.

o wow nevermind heybatter. lol geez my bad on that one.

jimwis... Where are you looking to play? Where are you being recruited by?
