Bad PSAT Score

In 8th grade I got a 1290 on the PSAT, does buyside recruiting look at that? For reference, I got a 1730 when I took it for real, so I’m not dumb, just nervous because breaking into a MF has been a dream ever since I read the WSJ that was sitting on the kitchen counter as a child. Do MF care? I was thinking about calling my middle school and asking to have the record expunged but I wasn’t sure of the scores importance.

How do you get a 1730 on the sat??? Unless you are a boomer and it was out of 2400. 
lack of detail, almost ms’d.

 

It’s a pretty big deal… Your interviewer will definitely bring it up, so make sure you have a story ready. As an example, the school lunch that day was pizza with choccy milk, so your body failed you.
