[quote=Anonymous]The short answer is that kids with SATs under 1400 get accepted everywhere, including many selective schools (UVA, W&M).  Obviously, your chance of getting admitted to a selective school increases your odds with a higher score, but a score below 1400 does not preclude your chance of getting in.  However, you should make sure that the rest of your application is absolutely stellar.  Also, for certain majors (i.e. humanities), the score will be less important.  However, you probably won't get into schools like MIT with a lower SAT score.  The schools that require SATs (some of the Ivy's, Georgetown, Florida public universities) will put more weight on the SAT than those that are test optional.  However, state schools, like Florida, will still give you a chance if you are within the ballpark of their range (and if the rest of your application is stellar).  So for example, if your SAT is a 1370, you still have a chance, but if your score is 1200, you probably don't (unless an athletic recruit).  [/quote]
