are my SAT 2 Scores high enough?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am an international student(Asian) currently studying in a high school in Chicago. I want to apply for top 15 colleges, and I am kinda worried about my SAT 2 scores. </p>

<p>I got math 2 800, physics 770, and chem 770. Should I retake Chem and Physics? Do colleges really concern about SAT 2? How big a difference of getting 800 in Chem and Physics will make? </p>

<p>Right now my first SAT is only 2110, and I am going to take it again in October. Does everyone suggests me to retake my SAT 2?</p>

<p>PS: If i get an SAT around 2250 in October, and I have a GPA of 4.11 for my junior year (My school counts A+ as 4.33, I think my GPA percentile in my class is somewhere around 5%), i have taken BC Calc (got a 5), Stats(5), Chem(5), Physics C E&M(5 on mechanics and 4 on E&M), AP World History (5), I am going to take AP Computer Science， AP US History, multi-variable calculus, and AP Econ next year, </p>

<p>will these scores make me somewhat competitive in applying to top 15 colleges?</p>

<p>No, I think your SAT II’s are just fine. Anywhere over 750 is excellent and I don’t think an 800 will make much of a difference.</p>

<p>Your GPA is good but could be made better but your stats definitely put you in the ballpark for top colleges. </p>

<p>However, your SAT I will need some beefing up if you plan on applying to top colleges - you should aim for a 2250-2300. You should definitely work on that.</p>

<p>Your SAT II’s are amazing! It wouldn’t make sense to retake them.</p>

<p>My gosh you’re a genius. Seriously, I think you’re absolutely fine. Don’t stress yourself by retaking tests you’ve already gotten great scores for. You’re scores are freaking awesome…</p>
