<p>*(I feel like my math score is a bit of an aberration. I really think I should be in the 720-760 range for math, but is the SAT worth taking again if I will only score 30-70 pts. better? Or instead, should I just take the Math 2 test to show colleges my skill in math?)</p>

<p>You’re in, esp. b/c you’re a legacy.</p>

<p>^^ Agreed since legacies have the benefit of being considered “in-state” in admission.</p>

<p>Are you planning on an engineering major? If so, it probably wouldn’t hurt to try and pull up the Math score. I’d wait on some other opinions on whether an SAT II Math score might help an “ok” SAT math score.</p>

<p>If your in-state due to legacy then your definitely in, if your OOS your a very strong applicant and will still be accepted in my opinion</p>
