how heavily do they weight them; I'm going to princeton (Current high school senior) and I got a 2150 on the SAT and a 34 on the ACT. (I'm not a minority, and I don't play a sport lmao)

You think those scores would hurt/hinder recruitment to a BB or upper-tier bank?

Dude you're worried way too much about this stuff. If you're going to Princeton you will be fine.

Yep, they know you're smart / connected / both so just don't act like a moron at the interviews and you will find something.

They might. I personally got an 1850. This was back when it was out of 1600.

That's pretty good, but I got an A+ on my SATs. So suck it.

JeffSkillingMy friend got a 1600 (On the 2400 scale) but just left the 1600 on without specifying the scale. He now works at GS TMT.

I took the SAT in middle school and used the score for my college applications. I don't even remember what I got back then, so I've been using my gmat score instead (much more recent), and so far, nobody has complained.
