SAT/ACT Listing

Is it always productive to list your SAT/ACT scores alongside GPA? Heard some places ding it, and having removed it from my resume for non-finance roles in the past, am curious if its a good idea to list it again. Sophomore college student currently.

From my point, I would not include SAT/ACT scores along with GPA. The employer is not interested in your scores but in your experience and your works. For example, I was working as a freelance writer where I was writing many articles on different topics. So, when I was applying for a job as a content writer a few years ago before I started working as a business analyst, I included some of my best works. So it's better to make some portfolio of your works which would lend you a job.

 

Nobody cares if you could have gotten in / did get in and deferred. The reason they recruit at target schools is simply to take advantage of the signaling bias associated with going to a selective school and paying a shit ton of money to attend.

If it comes up mention it. But if you could have gotten into an IVY and chose not to then your current GPA should also reflect that. If it doesn't, then someone might assume this kid got a 35 but based on his Non-target GPA he probably wouldn't have cut it at an IVY.
