    I. Hate. You. End of story, ok? Ok so not really, but I'm jealous. I wish I'd done better. I really got bored and kind of gave up. But my 1990 was the HIGHEST in my school. Sad, right? lmao

    My scores werent that great, SAT College really looks at your SAT. OTher than that, it really doesn't matter.

    I had good community service.

    Volunteered at the YMCA and I was in a NYPD Volunteer Program.

    My academic grades were shiet though lol, in their 80's

    i really hate when someone gets higher than a 1900 and says "my sat scores werent that great,"

    like thats just asking for attention and wanting to be called smart. just stop.

    Think what you want but in the academic environment I'm was in, It wasn't a good score.

    College also looks at which HS you come from and pull from an average. Someone who score 1900/1500 in their school from their peers have a higher chance than someone getting 2100/2300. College can't pick all their incoming freshman from one high school only. They have a limit on how many students they can admit from each school.

    Srs.

    Ever thought about that?

    Were you talking to me? Because that's not what I said at all. Yeah I wish I'd done better. I could have gotten a higher scholarship if I had. As it is, I DID decent. It's not that my score wasn't that great. But I wish I'd done better. But not only do I personally have higher standards, my parents EXPECT that of me. Granted I'm technically an adult now, but they still are very overbearing. Well not so much currently, but that's an issue I'd rather not talk about. -_-

    There's nothing wrong with expecting better of yourself. Or wanting better for yourself.
    Besides that, I'm competitive academically. So yeah.

    Colleges usually have a minimum requirement on SAT scores for all students of all high schools.
    Like Math - 640
    Reading - 600
    Writing - 600

    That kind of stuff. Also ethnicity of minority helps too, but seriously the average of the whole USA is about 1510. If you think getting a 2150, 250 points away from a perfect score, isn't that great then I don't know what you're thinking. It just sounds like wanting attention to me. o_o


    and Sarry no I wasn't talking to you lol.

    Oooh look at my preen my feathers. I got a 2150.

    If you think I want attention, fine. I don't care what you think.

    I'm not happy with my score. I have my own standards. But it's water under the bridge at this point.

    Some people get 1500 and they are fine with it, some people get 1900 and they are fine with it. i don't care what their standards are.

    2100 isn't high enough for me.

    You can yap all you want ^^
