Admission to a college or university of your preference would require you to go through a number of selection procedures. Colleges consider essays, interviews, recommendations, community involvement and even high school GPAs. However, SAT scores remain the primary factor. A high SAT score would significantly increase your chances of admission.

The SAT has three sections and three scores, each on a scale of 200 to 800.

• Writing
• Math
• Critical Reading

It is important to submit your SAT scores to the chosen universities ahead of the deadlines. The procedure for proper submission of SAT scores is outlined here.
