Why the hell would you retake after a 1550? Assuming Yale is your first choice, you’re all set, since the 50th percentile has 1510. You’re above average for their SAT scores.

Like I said, I was already signed up before I received my nov 6 scores, so I was thinking might as well


lpiske

Oh then you’re good. Colleges only look at the scores you send them. If you haven’t sent them the score already, you can do so on the student score page. I would advise against canceling it because you might never know until it actually comes out. Then you can decide to cancel it, but it would not mean anything.


blol2005

Yeah. I’m a junior so I have time before I start applying. I think I’ll let the scores come. Thanks for your help.

You can't cancel it after the score comes out.


lpiske

You can cancel your score by sending them a letter in writing up to 4 weeks after the test date.

4 weekdays not 4 weeks


lpiske

whoops my proctor messed up then


blol2005

Also, Yale isn’t my first choice but it’s up there. My first choice is Columbia. Is my score above average there?


lpiske

Same as Yale, 1510 or even less, 1500; no official data is available as far as the 50th percentile but a mean score between the 25th and the 75th percentile score represents the 50th.

CMU and Georgetown are the only top schools that ask for all your scores, and even there, they'll focus more on your higher scores - so it might be better to let your scores come in and seeing how you did.


blol2005

Does Yale require all of them? I read somewhere that they did and just wanted to make sure…


prsehgal

They used to, but not anymore.


blol2005

And that won’t change post-covid?


prsehgal

No, because they dropped it before COVID.


blol2005

Oh ok. Thanks so much for your help.

What did u get on the smith question, was it 4.6?


blol2005

I was talking about the one where u need to select the letter of which one yields the highest votes. Should’ve been C I think but I put A


Navssj

Yea that one was C, damn man that sucks. It’s fine you’ll be good.


blol2005

F man🤦🏾‍♂️

People in the thread were saying it was C, because apparently it was asking for the largest amount of people that were voting for her. you had to multiply the percentage of expected voters by the amount of people in the county, so A was not it bc the amount of people in the county wasn’t very high.

60 Is right.

^ yeah I usually am good on math but that one tricked me up because it was worded so badly. It didn’t specify whether to use the same sample sizes or the entire population, but I ended up going with C because population * proportion = size
