Ask HN: What is the average SAT score of a Google engineer?

I don't think it matters. I wasn't asked my SAT score when applying, and in general stuff you did in high school doesn't matter when you're applying to full-time jobs (except a few of the Intel/Westinghouse Talent Search winners had that on their resumes). They did ask my college GPA since I was <5 years out, but apparently a 3.0 is enough.

I can't imagine it's that high. Are you under the impression that Google is a highly selective employer? Maybe ten years ago it was. There's a high volume of people for whom passing the Google interview is a complete triviality. This has been the case for 5+ years now.

Mine was 1480/1600. Will Google hire me? Oh wait, I just gave away my age lower bound :)

Do you think 1480 is a good score?

1480 was a good enough score, that a student with a strong application in other areas can get into any college. I don't consider it proof that I was a good student, but it's certainly not a negative signal that a lower score would be.

I do think I could have scored much better though, considering 1480 was my first try without much preparation.
