Answer 3

It really depends upon the college, who's looking at it, who's taking it, and how much preparation. 2000+ is usually considered a very respectable score. For me, I set my standards high, and tried for a minimum of 2250, so it really just depends on what you want to set your goal at. Although, every year, there are people with perfect 2400's that are rejected from the top Ivies because SAT's aren't everything.
