Chance Me ish/Worth retaking SAT IIs

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tufts University

<p>Currently a senior looking to apply RD at Tufts:
97.5ish gpa (will go down a little bit because my senior year courses are really challenging)
High rigor of courses and tough secondary school, no ranking but I should be around the 5th percentile mark.
2080 SAT from march: 790 Math, 650 Writing (10 essay), 640 Reading. Just took the october and I hopefully should have raised Writing and Reading up to 700s, so hoping for a 2200ish SAT.
32 Act: 32 Reading, 31 Writing (10 essay), 28 Science (blargh :/), 35 Math.
ECs are okay but not really great.</p>

<p>Anyway I'm purposefully not elaborating because I don't really want to muck these forums up with more chance me mess, and I can see based on similar threads that I would be in the bubble but definitely not guaranteed. </p>

<p>What I am wondering is about my subject tests:
800 Bio M
780 US
720 Chem
750 Math II</p>

<p>What I'm worried about are the Chem and Math II, I'm looking to do chemical engineering and while my Bio and US are great, its the Chem and Math II that are actually required.</p>

<p>My question is, are my chances sufficiently hurt by those scores as is? Should I retake to raise them to 800s? Or would it just be better to invest the energy in retaking the ACT/Senior year courses/Tufts Essays? Cause I am kind of sick of taking standardized tests and I don't want to look ridiculous for taking too many exams.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Don’t bother retaking your SATs. Senior year is a busy time, but it can also be a really fun time. Enjoy it while it lasts and spend your energies elsewhere. Don’t bother retaking the ACT either. Do well in your coursework, put time into the application process and try to actually have some fun.</p>
