I’m a junior who scored a 1380 on my March SAT, and was super disappointed.
All my friends got a 1450+ so you’d expect that I was really embarrassed of my score.
I have the May SAT coming up, but I’ve been so busy preparing for my state conference and studying for my midterms for running start that I haven’t studied for the May one AT ALL.
My parents have stated that I have the option of attending a SAT course if I wanted, but it’s pricey and we are not extremely wealthy like that so I’ll only do it if it’s 100% needed.
I also have a 4.0 GPA and from what I know, a high SAT score is only highly effective when a student has low stats.
My dream is to go into Informatics at UW Seattle or UC Berkeley where I understand they are test blind. I have no need to get into any goated, prestigious top schools but I also don’t want to hurt my chances of getting into out of state schools beyond the west coast either.
I just want to know if a high SAT score is worth it enough to pay a bunch of money for a SAT course, probably grind over the summer like crazy and lower time for some of the ECs I had planned.
Please help me out! Thank you!
