<p>Yes, I would retake it. Try to get above the average SAT score for Stanford. </p>

<p>[Stanford</a> University: Common Data Set 2007-2008](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/#admission]Stanford”>http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/#admission)</p>

<p>The 50th percentile for each of the subjects is probably over 700.</p>

<p>definitely retake it. and i believe stanford only has single choice early action, not ED</p>

<p>i would also advise to retake it. true, you seem to be well rounded and are quite an athlete, but sometimes that isn’t enough for these top schools. retake it, study this time, and hope that you go over their average (or at least hit them) scores.</p>

<p>Definitely retake and study hard. Stanford it one of the toughest schools in the country. You will need at least a 2100 and probably more.</p>

<p>yes retake, 1860 is hardly close for being a competitive applicant at stanford
good luck! :)</p>
