Green Hope's Cory Tilton....WOW!!!!

Cory Tilton 2006 Green Hope NC 5'9" 145 CF/SS SAT 1730 6.94

Wow...if you doubled my SAT it wouldn't reach his total. Does anybody know about Cory? This young man caught my attention. I thought 1600 was the highest one could get, but I guess you can get extra credit...something I could have used

 

New SAT score is 2400 which has the essay part now. Most schools still only looking at Verbal and Math still

 

ok..thanks tandjsma. I'm not familiar with the new SAT's. I wish they had them when I was in school. I'd love to go around telling everybody I scored a 1400...and not telling them it is the new score.

If the old SAT measuring mark for athlete's was 1000, what are they now?

 

There are 3 parts to the new SAT, the third is rammar /writing. Colleges look at verbal and math scores for athletics but admissions offices look at the total score. Top score in each section is 800 (2400 total), so IMHO a score of 1800 on the new SAT would avg at 600 per section, so theoretically that would be approx 1200 on the math/verbal... Still excellent (i wish I had scored 1200 in HS)!!

 

Thanks Coach...I was debating whether to delete the thread because I didn't want to put unwanted attention to the young man. But it sounds like a 1730 is still a "WOW"...at least for a man with a SC education.

 

After further research , I have found that Cory just completed his 1st semester at UNCC with a 4.0. Now that's what I'm talking about....
I knew I should have singled out Cory for his academic accomplishments. His parents should be very proud

 

Braves....I didn't think they had SAT's when you were in school.....

 

Just for info, freshman eligibility is based on certain core courses and a sliding sat/gpa scale. Here is a link to the summary with the scale (which is based on math and verbal portions only):

1730 is good but far from great, I'm a junior in high school and scored a 1750, another friend of mine plays two sports and scored 1900.

 

Congratulations....but let's hope you can follow this young man's path with a 4.0 in your first semester in college. That's something to be proud of.
