<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I hate to do this but....</p>

<p>bump</p>

3

<p>Regular decision? I presume yes on that. I'd say you look good. It is an interesting mix of schools. Is that a jacked up GPA from weighting? Looks like it.</p>

4

<p>Yea... my school refuses to give unweighted GPAs.</p>

<p>Regular Decision everywhere except UChicago where I'm doing Early Action</p>

5

<p>actually, do you think verbal and writing score hurts me?</p>

6

<p>Penn is much more strident in RD.........good luck. Which school is your favorite?</p>

7

<p>I visited Wash U and I loved it. Also, their engineering appeals a lot. I like Penn's BBB program.</p>

8

<p>Well if you loved WUSTL I'd say you are gonna be just fine. I am not that familiar w/ Penn's BBB.</p>

9

<p>your sat1 is a little low for u penn and wustl. why don't you take it again?</p>

10

<p>will retaking the SAT help a lot? How much would of an increase would be <strong>ideal</strong> if I were thinking that way.</p>

11

<p>well ideal would obviously be 800s in both, but i think upping your scores 60-70 points will help a great deal.</p>

12

<p>what chance would I have now without taking it? I'm just wondering because well, I retook the SATs again in October and my score actually dropped significantly. (Math = 620!!)</p>

<p>Oh, and does taking college courses (Multivariable Calculus) help significantly?</p>
