<p>Hello CC ppl,</p>
<p>Just had a question. If you are an ORM (and international student) and you had really great reccomendations, grades (from an int'l sch that consistently does well), won int'l competitions like Model UNs and several national competitions and had good essays, would you suggest redoing SAT for the third time (currently it's 690CR 750M 720W). </p>
<p>I am confident my ECs stand out and so do my reccomendations (one from my country's top diplomat when I worked in the external affairs ministry is writing a supplementary one) and my grades are pretty good too (43pts predicted IB Diploma candidate). I just think redoing SATs are too close to the actual exams so it might be a conflict of interest. Going to do SAT IIs in June. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance so much guys,</p>

<p>I don’t think SATs matter that much. Stanford places a huge amount of emphasis on your essays and your IB scores look fantastic, so your SAT is fine in comparison. </p>
<p>Since it’s your third time, I would only suggest re-taking your SATs (which you really don’t have to…your scores are fine) if you spend the entire summer doing some disciplined studying. If you don’t foresee putting a significant amount of time in and aiming for a 2300+ then I’d say don’t do it.</p>
<p>You’re fine. Only retake if you have the time and energy. Wait, did you JUST NOW do your IBs?</p>
<p>It seems that Stanford doesn’t really care that much about SAT scores.</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys for the confidence. No Im takin it later but my school’s predicitions are pretty accurate</p>
<p>Would bringing my score up to a 2250+ really help that much guys?</p>
<p>Just as everyone else said, SATs aren’t the crux of your Stanford application. But a higher score could never hurt.</p>
<p>Don’t do it, you’ll still be awesome</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys, i might do it in october IF and only IF i get the time. but si non, then i will concentrate on my IBs and my SATIIs and ofcourse my ECs.</p>
