I read somewhere that the max OML score is 1000. Out of that, 250 is for SAT/ACT. I wonder how these 250 points are allocated.
Do they convert SAT CR+M linearly (proportionately) into 250? meaning, 1600 CR+M is 250, and 800 CR+M is 125, etc. Or, is it 250 (max score) for anything over 1400 (just an example), 200 points for 1300 or higher, etc..... For all I know, his score may already be good enough to get the max point. Or, NOT......
My son took SAT in May. The score was good, but he is taking Oct SAT again to increase it further. The Oct SAT is not going be considered for the Oct selection board but it will go into his ED application to his dream school. I am wondering if there is a reason to take Nov SAT, which is too late for the ED decision, but may still help him win the national scholarship in the Dec board, if he does not get it in the first selection board in Oct.....
Of course, if he does not get accepted into this #1 choice school in the ED round, he may take another SAT in Dec anyway for the RD round, but this is too late for the Dec selection board.
Does anybody know how SAT scores are "translated" into that 250 points reserved for SAT/ACT in the OML scoring guide?
Also, do they still consider only CR+M or are they starting to use the 2400 point system? I recall somebody mentioning the 2400 (CR+M+W) scoring base from this year, but I am not sure.....
