I've heard that PE shops ask for SAT/ACT scores during recruiting. I was more of a slacker in high school, and my SAT score was good but not 2200+, and my math score was just okay. In college, I scored a 173 on the LSAT (99th percentile), which is the median at Harvard Law. Could I list this on my resume? Would PE firms care at all about this score, or would they ding me based on my SAT?
