How do colleges consider SAT scores?
Only the college admissions board can answer that. Check their web site to know exactly what a school wants. Bear in mind that these scores are usually the average score of the students admitted the year before. That means that a score above or below the average can still gain admittance. Usually, the score requirements change a little from year to year, but the previous years average score is a good benchmark, as long as you realize that a few points below does not mean you will not be accepted. Beware the rumors surrounding scores. They can really cause a lot of unnecessary grief! Remember, your goal is to get into the college that will offer the best education for you.
