Hi!
I’m a senior with a 1440 SAT score. I retook the October SAT let’s just say it wasn’t the best test. My question is, should I go test optional or not?
I’m looking at colleges such as UMich, Middlebury, and Villanova. If my research is right, I think I’m within the 50% for UMich (although honestly it’s feels a little weird because the middle 50% online looks a bit low), for Middlebury, the middle range is 1440-1550 so even though I’m in it, I’m in the lower side of that bracket and for Villanova, the middle is 1450-1530 so I’m sort of not in that range at all. While I do hope and pray that I can atleast superscore, I’m honestly not confident. With that said, would a score as such be ok to submit to these colleges? Because I feel like it would just hurt my chances if anything.
Any insight is much appreciated!
A 1440 would definitely not hurt you and you should submit it. I have seen plenty of people aim for SAT scores lower than yours and after all, 1440 is a good score! If you end up not getting in, I wouldn’t blame it on your SAT score.
