What is an 'outstanding' SAT score?

[interhacker]

I just got my SAT scores, I have a 640 in Critical Reading, a 700 in Maths and a 590 in Writing. All this adds up to a 1930, I guess. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea what the average scores are, and how good I have scored comparatively. Universities don't generally give out data on what scores they accept. So, is my score good enough? Secondly, I'm applying next year to MIT, Harvard, Princeton, LUMS and NUS. Are my scores good enough for admission in any of these universities? Should I retake the exam?

Universities do. The Ivy League Unis you mentioned - MIT, Harvard & Princeton, each have their own admission requirements.

This is for MIT -

The second link shows expected SAT scores for admitted applicants.

The best thing to do is go to the respective universities' websites you plan on applying to, look up what is needed and accordingly prepare yourself.

MIT actually requires good score fr SAT 1 like above 2300... so it's better to do SAT again...
