<p>Sorry, I know this doesn't answer your question... but why would you retake the SAT after a 1550/2400??</p>

3

<p>1550 out of 2400, since you can't get a 1550 on M+V and then get a 2400 with all three.</p>

4

<p>Oh, gotcha. I thought you meant you had scored 1550 on the old one and 2400 on the new one.</p>

5

<p>good shot at u hartford.
uvm is a reach.
other schools for consideration: sacred heart, salve regina, roger williams, endicott, URI, keane state, elmira, hofstra</p>

<p>Since you want to be a teacher, often the best way to do that is to go to a public university because in most states, the majority of teachers come from their in-state public universities. Teaching is a low paying career, and if your family will have to take out loans or pinch pennies to pay for your education, it may not be worth it to pay for an out of state public eduation or for a private education.</p>
