What is a good SAT score for PE?

Current rising sophomore at semi-target thinking about future PE recruitment. What is a good SAT score for landing PE gigs? Are there brackets like 1500+  = MF, 1450+ = UMM, etc. 

I got a 1450 but my year was when they allowed people to waive SAT scores for colleges, so I'm curious how it may be affected. 

Side question: how will being from a semi-target affect PE recruitment?

No not at all. GPA is FAR more important, people have gotten into MFs with much lower

1450 is totally fine, and really very few firms ask for it. If you're still super worried (needlessly tbh) and B school might be an option down the road, you can take the GMAT your senior year (not earlier, score lasts 5 years). HHs will take that score instead of SAT. But that's more for if you got a 1200, not a perfectly good score

 

Aight thanks lol. It's just in my imagination 1450 wouldn't cut it for top ivies so it wouldn't be competitive for PE either. Do you know what a good target GPA is for PE?

 

I asked a BX PE analyst about if my score (33 ACT) was good enough and she laughed in my face, don’t stress man. Bank/Group matters a lot more. You think they give a fuck what a top bucket kinda guy from MS M&A or PJT RX got on a test in HS when he was probably half asleep?

 

What kind of GPA are HHs and MFs looking for? Have a 3.67 from a state school, skipped on-cycle. 

 

Can someone riddle me this, I got a 1540 (2320 for those that did it when had 2 parts - took the test in 9th grade), GS FIG IBD, HYPSW undergrad - 3.7 GPA, and didn’t get an interview for Apax or Onex.

Bonus points for someone who actually guesses the most likely reason

Life’s a crapshoot, I’m glad I learned to just enjoy the ride at some point
