<p>This Autumn I'm going to take the Literature and Math II SAT IIs and I am considering retaking the SAT I to improve my Critical Reading and Writing scores. Does anyone have any suggestions for improving my application and if I should apply during the Early Decision or Regular Decision periods?</p>

<p>your stuff is very similar to mine...</p>

<p>i had 3.63, 2270, solid subject tests/ap's, and sports and leadership. i'd say i barely got in, though, and since it's only gonna be harder next year on account of their high yield, i'd apply early if it's your first choice.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, did you apply early decision?</p>
