How important is your SAT score?
Hi all,
I’m a prefrosh (URM African American) going into Gtown (target?) and am very interested in working in MBB. Though, I just learned that they will ask for your SAT scores as part of your application. Even Deloitte.
I have a 1320 (690 Reading, 630 Math). This is in the 1900s in old sat numbers.
Is the test worth retaking? Does anyone have experience with a score about the same? I really don’t want this score to significantly hinder my chances. Thanks
Ur GPA will matter much much more
i’m generally against re taking but a 1320 especially the math score will probably get you filtered out at most consulting shops let alone MBB.
will a 1390, math 710, reading 680 get u filtered out?
More likely than not. According to this post https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/qa-spent-3-years-at-mbb anything really less than 1400 is not ideal and can get filtered out, but idk since you are right on the margin. Try looking at the consulting subreddit espicially anything QiuYiDio posts there about how to overcome a low SAT score. There's a lot more info there than here.
Yeah dude that’s a bit strange. Most people I know are kind of the other way around. They pull near perfect math scores and their reading scores drag them down. If you grind, you can pull that math score up to near perfect because it’s not like English where it’s tough to quantify how many hours of work will get you good enough at answering reading questions. Math is just a matter of knowing all the concepts and being lightning fast. I’d recommend Khan Academy (although you’ve probably used it before as have most students in our generation).
Congrats on Georgetown!
What the fuck
Your SAT’s don’t matter in consulting recruiting except maybe at McKinsey and BCG. Other shops don’t care or ask for SAT’s. They’ll focus much more on your GPA so I’d focus on that
OW and Bain clearly consider them
prove me wrong.
