If you scored above a 1540 you don't need to retake the SAT

At ivies and other T10s, if you score above a 1540 you don't need to retake the SAT. You'll be in the same bucket as the 1600 person.

Colleges have various buckets such as:
Tier 1: 1550 - 1600
Tier 2: 1500 - 1540
Tier 3: 1430 - 1490
etc (Tiers vary school to school)

Hope this eases the anxiety for any sophomores and juniors reading this

A student came to us asking for help getting into Harvard. She was the first in her family to go to college, and hoped to become a doctor.

However, she said, “I’m not sure if I can afford it. Maybe it’s not worth even applying.”

Little did she know, top colleges offer generous financial aid packages based on need.

She was a valedictorian in her high school class, and spent her summers conducting collegiate-level research. We encouraged her to apply, and gave her a link and some resources such as fee waivers.

Today, she’s a freshman at Harvard University.

Don’t let your circumstances hold you back from achieving your goals!
