hey /sci/, i'll be taking the sat next sunday (i know its a bit cliche, but yes im an 18 yo senior) so in preparation i took a practice sat recently and got a 640 in both math and reading (the writing part was estimated at 520 based on a self scored essay). I want to get into a university with a good science and math program, do you guys think this is good enough of a score?

its a terrible score in that case, and unless you've published a book or something remarkable, you're wasting your parent's money by applying

Dajeep, is that you, my son? Was your mother a Punjabi prostitute from Mumbai? I have searched the earth for you, boy! Praise Vishu, the gods have re-united us.

Come, son, let us bond over the warmth of a tandoori and swap tales of our first arranged marriage!

Not OP, but how hard is it to transfer to a top 10 school from a mid tier state school with a 4.0 GPA?

>> No.4708466

>>4708447
ive read that ivy league schools typically accept 5-10% of transfer applicants a year

your gpa is great and all, but you really need ECs to separate you

>> No.4708467
