MD asking for SAT score

if your GPA is better than your SAT, maybe send that to him instead?

Ask him why he's not at a better bank.

Honestly if you have an impressive resume,  Just send your resume, I bet that he will not ask for SAT scores again.

Do you have a better GMAT score ? If so, send that instead. Much more impressive

I'm like 90% sure he is confused and wants the GMAT score

How do you give people your SAT score? Do they want a print out of your score from the SAT website?

Is your undergrad a non-target? He might want to check the reason why you didn't go to targets.

Some people had good SAT score but for a veriety of reasons, didn't go to targets. Could be financial, personal, etc. whatever.

He's probably just want to make sure you didn't go to targets because you weren't good enough academically.

I vote don't send it, and if he pushes for it again say you don't have the score report anymore but are "pretty sure it's around xxx" and then pick a decent number that might be a bit above your actual score. MM banks didn't seem as concerned about test scores as a few boutiques did in the recruiting process.

Just send your score and resume without making a big deal about it. You're not going to be the person that changes his mind on whether SAT scores are important or not, and if you don't send it, he's just going to assume it's worse than it probably is

If ur SAT is bad literally just tell him you didn't take it. Covid got me and so many others out of the SAT.

im sure he means gmat. no self respecting person would care about a ~30 year olds SAT score

Send GMAT and if they ask for SAT then send that after. If a tiny number from 15 years when you were a wildly different person is what they want their decision on then they're morons that don't understand mid-career talent acquisition.

It's an iq test. If you were extremely smart you would have scored very high.

He wants to know if you are smart

Every very smart person I know crushed the sats.

Ivy now waive SAT score for "equity"

I would send a fake SAT score. Use some pdf editor program to change the number. You will never get caught because who verifies this crap? Only undergrad colleges. And if they want the proof well you have to pay College Board to send the number to the institution. But only colleges are allowed this verification. So make up a fake number, I'd say nothing too high (maybe 1450 +/- is a good start)

Just give him a high score.  They'll never check

Honestly pretty bizarre that he's asking for your SAT instead of your GMAT score. If you did better on the GMAT, I'd send that score in as well. I might get MS thrown at me for this, but I feel like the SAT/ACT has more to do with your upbringing than the GMAT does. The strength of your school curriculum and availability of test prep services will absolutely have an effect on your SAT/ACT scores, and as a 15/16 year old kid those are not things that are in your control. Def not trying to make this a diversity argument (I think standardized test performance is a nuanced issue..in an ideal world could be considered on a case-by-case basis).

If you're taking the GMAT then chances are you're not living with mommy and daddy anymore, so it's on you to prepare. If you were trying to lateral from another industry I'd certainly understand the SAT score request, but since you're an MBA student I'm shocked he prefers that over the GMAT...

I am scratching my head at most of these replies.

The MD had a very specific ask, your SAT. Regardless of whether we think he/she needs this information, that is what they want and expect. A number of banks and consulting firms want this because they feel it predicts success in the roles. Not sending or sending something else is not going to reflect well on you, You look like you don't follow directions, you think you know better than them have poor attention to detail....or your score is horrible.

Send it.

Send your SAT scores. If you don't then at worst they'll think you did horribly, and at best they'll think you don't have attention to detail. Either way it's not good

No one is checking that

If you don't take the gig I would make sure you send her every time you get anything. Training completions, online quizzes come to mind. Would just #expertisebuilding

I had an MD ask for my SAT scores when I was interviewing for a post-MBA role. I was HYP undergrad. I thought it was weird but sent him my scores and got the job. The MD was the worst boss I ever had and cared about all the wrong things. This should have been a giant red flag.

This hits home for me personally, as I grew up in a not so great south eastern state and went to public schools my entire life. Getting asked this question legitimately pisses me off, as my school was so bad that I genuinely thought I was the problem. Few major points:

- Every teacher/adult told me there was no way to study for the test

- I only took it once, as I didn't know of/see a reason to take it more than once at the time (whats an ivy league school? had never really heard of such a thing.)

- My math and science scores were by far the lowest, as I had never had a genuine math/science teacher (I scored <25 on ACT for both sections). For reference, I made 99%+ in Calc 1-4 in college.....

-  Caveat, I made a 35 in reading comprehension (as it turns out we southerns can read pretty well)
