1350~ SAT, should I retake it for PE?
International monkey at a target who got in with around 1350 SAT. I have a solid GPA and experience and I was wondering if I had to retake SAT for PE recruiting?

I think you have to ask yourself if you reasonably think that you could score better. To me, a 1350, while a great score and will get you into some decent scores will not stand out among PE applicants. It also comes down to your ultimate goals and which firms you are looking at. Look at the people who are at the firms you're interested in.... look at where they went to school and you should have a good idea of the SAT scores they had just based on mean UG acceptance scores. If you think your 1350 stacks up then keep it, but my guess is that to be more competitive you probably would want it to achieve a higher score.
Thanks for your reply I guess my real question is does sat really matter? I'm International so my English was stupid low...
Yes, it does. PE and MBB will ask for it. But I don’t know if you should retake it. Just take the GMAT down the line and put that instead
You should retake it if you’re scared that you’re 95% percentile high school exam score will hurt your private equity candidacy. I got a 1310/1600 and was asked for my score. Got the job. Bang.
Just lie
Ya say you got a 1600 but don’t disclose it was out of 2400 ;)
That's a weak score bruh but doubt anyone cares...it was in high school
Is a 1410 enough to not consider retaking
