based on the old SAT scoring system, your score would be approximately 1400, which is/was an excellent score.

With a 1400 you would have no problem getting into the vast majority of US undergraduate programs, and would be a competitive applicant – at least based on those scores – at the rest.

The only stretch for you might be the very top schools – Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, U of Chicago, Columbia, etc.

But 1400 is a competitive score even at those schools.

Your scores are impressive, but there’s always room for improvement, so don’t let up ! And let your next score be a vast improvement on your latest performance !
