SAT Scores (yes,yes... again)?

Question

No need to wonder what this is about..

CR: 710

Math: 720 <---was aiming for 800, so this is horrible

Writing: 650 (essay 8) <----not bad, since I didn't like the essay prompt

So give it to me straight... is this 2080 going to get me anywhere in the top? Or am I relegated to the 'good, but almost' group? This is the 1st I've taken the SAT, and I'm a 17 year old in Malaysia. Do they give considerations to internationals, or are we held to the same standards as Americans? (no political overtones there, I swear!)

On a personal level, yea, I'm pretty bummed. Know my friends got 2120 and 2190 respectively, and i was confident of breaking 2100... and another friend of mine is even going for 2350!! It sucks being the dumbest 1...

Answer 1

dude chill out.

youre a minority, colleges love little asians like you.

try stanford i&#039;d put money on it that you&#039;ll get in there, especially since you&#039;re international too

Answer 2

wow.....  the average score (here at least) is a 1500. You did really great- and i guess you just have some brilliant friends. You can get up to 800 in each section, so you did good...  lol

Answer 3

You will get in almost anywhere you apply, if not anywhere... trust me.  Your scores are above average and schools love to accept international students, especially one from Malaysia.  Don&#039;t stress my friend, as this was only your first time.
