How much does SAT/ACT matter?

Just wrapped up SA 27 recruiting and super grateful to have secured an offer.

On my resume, I left my 1520/1600 SAT score and I'm honestly wondering if that had any impact. Just curious tbh.

FWIW I attend a target (Columbia/UChicago/Duke), but I'm just curious as to how much these scores affect recruiting.

Interesting. I actually got a message from AGC Partners on Friday with the following: “If your SAT and/or ACT scores are not included on your resume, please also include them when you send back your note confirming your test completion.” But I honestly think it depends on the firm. Tbh using standardized scores seems like an easy way to sort through resumes
