If you have a strong ACT, you should be good. If you have neither a strong SAT nor ACT, just end up with a super strong GPA to compensate. Having an academic distinction while in college would also help.

Love the humility!
lmao confident with 3.6 going in for buyside
What’s strong? 98th percentile okay?
I’ve never heard of somewhere accepting the SAT only, I have been asked to submit proof of my test scores a few times but places were always fine with either SAT or ACT (sometimes GMAT as well, although I don’t think it’s as respected).
If you don’t have any test scores (went to a new age-y college or something), it might be a slight negative (places might think you’re hiding a bad score or something), but that’s really on the margin - I don’t think most would care, a lot don’t even ask
Just saw how blackstone and kkr ask but I got into my target school without one and I never took cuz covid
Btw OP I threw monkey shit at every post you posted on this thread so far. Will check back tomorrow in case I need to ease myself some more.
The SAT is being fazed out of college admissions very fast. Maybe it will still be used to filter out the best of the best in terms of MFPE recruiting, but I see it becoming less and less relevant from here on out. This act by colleges is largely related to the correlation between test scores and socioeconomic backgrounds
A standardized test will always matter for these positions if you are from a non-target. Otherwise, a 3.7+ from an ivy or ivy equivalent everyone assumes you got a solid score.
Just something to note for the non-targets—few things get me to vouch for a candidate stronger than a perfect/ near perfect standardized test and a state/ non-target school. It generally to me says, “this kid had no money and grinded his ass off to get to where he is”. Otherwise, I find it very hard to justify selecting a generic state school 4.0 guy over the generic top ten school guy.
I go to (umich,Georgetown,uchicago) target so should I worry that much?

I wouldn’t if your gpa is high. That said, might take the gmat or gre anyway if you are still an undergrad because it’s way easier to do now versus later and can show the same thing if there is ever a doubt on your intelligence.
congrats on umich
Senior with a 4.0 at a target but 1200s SAT, yeah lucky to get in.
Should I take the sat again?
No… it doesn’t matter nearly as much as people pretend it does here, unless you’re going for MF
