What are the SAT-1 scores that colleges like Yale prefer during admission?

Only if you have a high GPA, involved in school and the community (i.e. clubs, sports, volunteer work.) I suggest you study more and then retake it.

most American colleges require either the ACT or the SAT I (and occasionally specific SAT II subject tests).  If English is not your native language, you may have to take the TOEFL as well.  ACT and SAT test dates are less frequent in other countries than they are in the US (sometimes only one or two chances to take them per year), so look up the dates they're available near you.\n\nThe ACT has several subsections: English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.  Each of these sections is rated on a score of 1 to 36, and your "ACT Score" is the average of these four scores.  The SAT is broken into mathematics and verbal subsections, and each is rated from 100 to 800.  Your "SAT Score" is the sum of these two (so between 200 and 1600).  The SAT II consists of a variety of subject tests, each of which are graded from 100 to 800.  You normally pick three of these to take on a given testing date, and each score is reported separately (800 for math, 350 for French, and 520 for biology, for example).  Often these can be used to place out of introductory classes, so you can either skip them and take the next level, or get credit for them as if you had taken them at your university.

Your composite SAT score (Math + Critical Reading) is 1370 out of 1600. Use that as guidance when you look at colleges.

A 4.0 GPA is better because it shows that you are willing to put in the work and be responsible on a consistent basis. That is what colleges want to see. A high SAT score is meaningless without anything to back it up.

It all depends on the college.  Some colleges are moving away from standardized testing in favor of essays and past performance in high school.  Some of the schools still put a major emphasis on SAT's.  The best thing to do is look into the colleges that you're interested in attending and talk to an admissions person. Also, if you have an idea of what you'd like to major in, then talk to the department chairperson. They'll be able to tell you much more than what you could get on here.

The SAT (pronounced "S-A-T") Reasoning Test, formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test, is a type of standardized test frequently used by colleges and universities in the United States to aid in the selection of incoming students. In the U.S., the SAT is administered by the private College Board, and is developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Many universities in other countries such as the United Kingdom have recently begun to use the test as a scholastic benchmark as well, if perhaps not with as much weight.

There are no minimum SAT scores required for admission.\nAt Princeton they believe that while grades and test results are useful pieces of information, they do not by themselves provide a complete picture of a student’s academic accomplishment or potential.

SAT 1 is a "reasoning" exam. It includes sections of writing, reading, and math, but does not directly test your knowledge of any subjects. The SAT 2s are subject-specific exams. You can think of them as a 1-hour "final" for the class. Get more information at a free "admissions 101" seminar at your local Kaplan center. You can also take a free practice test to see how much you need to prepare for your SATs.\n\ngood luck!

Looks like your scores are fairly strong.  Frequently Harvard/Yale/Stanford will need stronger scores then these, but with good life-experiences, it's certainly not a bar to you.\n\nRe: financial aid, there are varying policies on financial aid for foreign students as much of it is government-funding dependent.  You should inquire directly with the schools about financial aid for international students.  I think all admissions are need-blind, so it shouldn't hurt you to ask.\n\n A good place to look for private scholarships is www.fastweb.com, which compiles scholarships.  Frequently, they're available for foreign students.\n\nGood luck!

i don't think any colleges/universities base your admission entirely on s.a.t. scores.  they also look at the quality of your admissions essay/s, and your transcripts.  so hopefully if you didn't do as well on the sat's, you can make up for it by writing a fantastic essay (throw in things like how you've learned to manage your time/what the honor system means to you/things you have overcome, etc.)  \n\nalso a big thing is what extra curricular activities you have.  (band, clubs, after school jobs, volunteer work, etc.) they like to know how you manage your time and they look for someone who has good grades and still can handle other activities. because college is a busy place and time management is really important. \n\ndon't limit yourself just to schools that fit your sat score though.  if you can pull off the other things mentioned, you have a shot at any school. it's worth a try!! good luck to you!

your are very competitve, one B will not hurt you as long as you explain your situation. the admissioners will evaulate based on the information provided. they know that no one is perfect, a B is just a minor flaw. try to get a better SAT score and SAT subject exams.

it depends on what school you want to go to.

It's probably not a set score (they're usually somewhat flexible if you excel in other areas) but since it is Ivy League, I would say it has to be pretty high for you to have a good shot. My old friends that went to Ivy League schools got a 1380 and a 1400, for instance.

In short yes.\nLaw schools base who they choice on these factors:\nLSAT\nGPA in relation to courses taken and generally better schools are rated higher. a 4.00 at a community college is not equal to a 4.00 at a top 5 school and ect.\nThey also look at your other activities and generally you have to write an essay about yourself and that is also used to determine if you are granted admission.
