>I'll be getting to colleges you can't even afford

I got mine paid for by the company I worked for.

Have fun reading that small print. In fact, don't. And enjoy paying it all back when they get you on a technicality.

shut up faggot, i got a near perfect score, come at me, oh wait, you are not allowed on the PRIVATE UNIVERSITY PROPERTY

U MAD

Meh, 670 math, 710 verbal, 610 writing here. 1980 composite. Didn't get me into Georgia Tech....

>not an 800 in math

> 1870 on SAT
> Got into Yale because I'm mexican and below the poverty level according to tax returns
> GOML

>mfw im a senior and you're years behind me

670 math
620 reading
590 writing...
On my first try. Very little studying, and I got 2 3s on the essay. The topic was nonsense, and I am usually a good writer.

Reading... what's up with it?

Any of you /v/irgins part of the 2400 club? If you're part of the 2400 club, post here.

I love it when you asshats believe that your SAT scores and IQ tests make you above everyone else.

Fuck you, all of you. I hope you enjoy never getting laid and having a useless plaque on your wall telling you how smart you are...

I'll be out contributing to society in a real sense

>mfw I didn't know what an SAT was like, what materiel was on it, had never studied and was up until 3 at a party and got a 2010 composite score
Must be a terrible to be a plebeian.

>>3302133

This. 800 math 770 verbal. 0 writing because I didn't feel the need to improve my score any when they added that silly section when I was a junior.

>I'll be out contributing to society in a real sense

>>3302195

It would have to be an awful state school. I outscored OP and my state school didn't give me shit.

You get 1000 just for writing your namew

>>3302199
i got 2220 and only like half the uc's gave me a regent scholarship, which is only like 6k a quarter.

State schools are usually realllyyyy gooddd.

nice. now smoke a kent.

>>3302187

>Goldman Sachs
>contributing to society

dood...wait...wat

>>3302089

You couldn't even qualify for the honors college of the state school I attended.

Good job retard.

>>3302187
When you say contributing to society, you mean its downfall. Goldman Sachs is likely the worst organization of human beings to have ever blighted this planet. I say, without regret or exaggeration, anyone who works in the upper echelon of the banking business should be wiped off of the planet in the most painful and absolute way possible.
Yes, I am more than mad. I am quaking with fury.

>>3302187
>implying a high SAT score will get you into GS.
As someone who has been through their interview process I can tell you that if you are ignorant enough to think something like that GS will probably remain a pipe dream for you. Don't worry though, I hear wells fargo are recruiting new tellers!

>1930 on SAT
>less than 800 on math
>bragging

not sure if troll

>>3302244
What's their interview process like? I'm getting an internship at Vanguard next year and I would eventually like to work my way up to a firm like GS, what exactly is required?

> mfw half the people on this thread are lying about their SAT scores to feel superior in some way over the internet.

faggots, all of you

when I took the SAT it only went up to 1600, they made it easier for your shit hole generation so you could feel better about yourselves over growing up in a society of ignorant retards

>>3302290

2 things wrong with what you just said candy-ass.

1. /sci/ isn't an 18+ board.

2. The SAT can be taken at any age.

Fucktard.

>>3302305
To bad to be on 4chan you have to be 18+. The whole purpose of the 18+ boards is so people can post filthy pornography and graphic material.

But obviously you're too stupid and new here to realize this

>>3302305
>implying 4chan has boards that aren't 18+

>>3302305

All of 4chan is 18+, but certain boards of SFW and others are NSFW

I got a 1610, you all jelly?

>>3302305
>mfw taking the SAT and not being in high school

>>3302241
I obviously never meant that GS is a positive force in the world, that'd be retarded. I just don't care.

>>3302244
Shit, I thought a standardized exam I took several years ago would get me that analyst spot at GS. You've shattered my dreams anon, guess I was destined to be a CPA all along :(

>>3302089

Wait a 1930 means a bunch of free rides?

I got like an 1870 and I thought that was shit. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself...

>>3302321
sorry. just study you aren't retarded just unprepared.

So here's a question for all you university guys. my GPA is a 3.0, what SAT score do i need to get into say UMD

>>3302342
You realize that 1870/2400 is around 78%...
Of course you get no scholarships. Look at op's pic

>average /sci/ SAT score: <2300

Something doesn't add up here.

>>3302455

Yeah they added a writing section.
old SAT:
-Math out of 800
-Reading out of 800
total = 1600

new SAT:
-Math out of 800
-Reading out of 800
-Writing out of 800
total = 2400

>>3302459
Psh.
Just take the ACT with writing and the original SAT.
You should be taking both tests anyways.

>>3302474

OP here, 31 on my ACT.
>yfw I'm set for life

>>3302474

You don't get to choose which version of the SAT you take...

It's the NEW SAT. Meaning the old one is bye bye...

OP I'm so jealous of your awesome score.

oh wait...

Britfag here. What are SATS and how do they work?

>>3302485
Back in my day we would walk 15 miles to take the ACT at one school, then another 20 miles to take the SAT at another.
And it was uphill both ways!

>>3302487
>implying a 31 makes you set for life.
I know 4 people from my high school that got 36s on the ACT. My girlfriend got a 35, and she is absolutely fucking retarded when it comes to math.
I got a 32 because of 18s in English an Reading.

Everyone in this thread should read this:

http://iwanttobeapresident.blogspot.com/2008/08/conan-obriens-speech-to-stuyvesant-high.html

Excerpt:
"Alright, those are silly and a complete waste of time. But believe it or not, I actually do have some real advice for you. I don’t want to freak you guys out, but twenty five years ago, I could have been any one of you. I went to a public high school, and I was a bright, ambitious, hard working kid who wanted more than anything to go to a good college. The only problem is, I was much more interested in succeeding than in really learning. When you’re a smart kid in a competitive school, it’s an easy trap to fall into. So I did a lot of things in high school not because I enjoyed them but because I thought they look good on an application. I think you know what I’m talking about. I was on a debate team — hated it. I ran track — I was terrible, I got so bored running the two mile that I tried to talk with my opponents during the race. “what are you gonna do later, I mean you gonna be doing something later?” I joined school government — hated it. Of course, like many of you I worried obsessively about my GPA and my SAT scores. And of course, it worked. I got into the college of my choice and to this day I’m proud of the work I did in high school."

>>3302540
2/2
"But old habits die hard. Once I got into college, I had every intention of joylessly grinding away again. I was gonna turn college into just another step on the road to being successful, whatever that meant. I told people my plan was to go to graduate school in law or government, just because I thought that’s what smart people were supposed to do. And then something really weird happened. My roommate — by the way, he was the weird roommate — my roommate was going to an orientation meeting at the Harvard Lampoon, the school humor magazine, and I decided for some reason to tag along. I wrote one piece, then I wrote another piece, then another. Before long, I was running the place. The only difference was, I was joyously happy. I was succeeding at something because I loved the process, not because I was trying to get anywhere. I had found the thing I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and I honestly didn’t care where it took me or what it paid."

>>3302535
well actually my research focuses on what the cellular and molecular mechanisms are that allows cells to establish unique identities and perpetuate them throughout the life of the organism because they all have the same DNA (besides a few specialized types)

but I guess that's not really that fundamental..

IDGAF

The SAT is the key to success in life, my guidance counselors told me so

>>3304254

SAT is key to determining the potential of success society will provide for you based on arbitrary judgments of worth on based on basic math and reading.

So in a way yes the SAT is important.

>>3302535

>Math
Well you can't help answer the fundamental questions of the universe, BUT LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS

I have two SAT scores. One is 1980 with a 800 in math. One of 2080 with a 700 in math. which one should I give colleges?

>no score for science
you call this an education?

>>3304501

THE 800 IN MATH

or send both and they may do a composite

hopefully you have something other than SAT to show.

>>3304527

>SAT subject test (jerks off your ego)

> AP test (Gives you college credit)

same company use em

>>3304531
CBA to google everything you just said and make sense of it. Regardless science should be taken into account alongside english skills and maths

>>3302172

>he doesn't know how to spell material

it must suck to be a nigger

Raised my score from 1580 freshman year to 2210 in senior year of hs. MFW, when 3 years of mental growth increases iq by 40 points.

>>3302117
Huh, i got exactly a 1980 and got into Georgia Tech. that was 4 years ago but still.
Your math was a little low, i got a 750.

Perfect score reporting in.

>>3302089
I got a 2100 when I took mine back in the day

not that it matters. It works as a threshold, so once you got into your college it doesn't matter. SAT scores don't matter at all after that point.

2210
critical reading: 800
math: 760
writing: 650

Fuck the writing section. if it was on the 1600 scale still id have a 1560.

>>3304900
Not true.

Apply to any top firm (consulting or IB, read: McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley) and they'll ask for you SAT scores. This is to help weed out dumbasses that went to easier schools w/ more grade inflation.

>>3304501
superscore (composite) them. They'll take the higher part from each. but make sure the college accepts superscored tests first

>>3304905
I hated the writing. I don't know about you guys, but I never learned anything about grammar past 6th grade. Sorry I never learned about the subjunctive tense.

>>3304909
hmm, the more you know. Does that only apply to lawfirms and such?

>>3304914
Sorry you couldn't crack open the Blue Book and take an hour and a half to learn it to up your shitty writing score.

>>3304914
same here. i got no grammar in middle school. I did perfectly on the vocab but the other sections i just couldnt keep up. my essay received only an 8 too. The whole idea is stupid. the other sections are more logic based but the writing is about how much you've been taught about writing.

>>3304917
Those aren't law. I don't know about Law but I doubt it. They're gonna check to see that you're T14 and Order of the Coif.

Consulting Firms and Investment Banking are where all the Ivy Kids run off to make good money.

I think when I applied Microsoft they asked for it too. I think all the big Bay Area tech firms (Oracle, Facebook, Google, MSoft) also have a spot on the app for it.

If you're trying to apply to top places SAT can still play a factor in landing you that crucial interview.

Sorry guys can you please talk louder, I cant hear you over my european free education

>>3304943
I had what amounted to a free ride to an actual prestigious and good (read: American) university

Try harder.

>>3302117
>>3302117

Hey there, I'm in Georgia too. Hoping to get into Tech myself. Mind if I ask what college you're going to instead?

SAT stats:
Total : 2230
Reading : 730
Math : 740
Writing : 760

>>3304905

Heads up: lots and lots of colleges ignore the writing section. Those are Harvard level SAT scores, especially the reading section.

>>3304966
Heads up. I know what good scores are. I got one.

Heads up. I went to a top 5 school.

Heads up. No top school is going to disregard the writing section. Caltech/MIT won't even disregard the writing section entirely.

Heads up. Having a decent SAT is just one part of a well rounded application and is no guarantee to get you into a good school.

>>3304909
Or just get a PhD and get a job at McKinsey easy.

>>3304972

sorry

._.

I love the retard in here who thinks he can get a job at GS. I Yale and did a business and economics degree, got 2250 on my SAT and I finished with a 3.8 GPA. I was turned down before the interviews. Good luck to , especially since you think you will be on six figures...the fucking maids are on six figures.

Do Americans really think SAT is hard at all? You guys can't even answer 10% of the IIT papers.

>>3305026

I just glanced at some sample IIT problems and I don't know where you get that impression from. A high school graduate should be able to get a good portion of these exams right.

Oh, exploiting the system.

You guyz do realize that trying so hard to get a high score on the SAT and fantasizing about working for large companies just goes to show what corporate beeches you all are.

Oh please hire me goldman, im so good at whoring out my life for little pieces of paper. It makes me so aroused when you dangle a plastic carrot in front of my face. I'm a good corporate sissy slut. I will do anything to make you happy.

I got perfect GRE scores last month. What now, bitches?

Goddamn, these threads always make me feel so old.

When I was your age, kiddies, 1500 was a great score and we walked uphill both ways to take the test with a pencil and paper.

See, my school was in the middle of a cliffside with one road going one way. We had to walk up to get to school then walk to the very top to get to the helipad which had helicopters to take us to the base again.
