<p>I took the Oct. SATs and got my scores back. It wasn't completely hopeless (1940) and it was my first time. I'm thinking about taking the ACTs in the Spring. Do I still need to retake the SATs or take the ACTs to get a better score for the Ivies or is 1940 enough?</p>
<p>You probably need 2200+.</p>
<p>You need a 2100 to be competitive for the Ivies. Retake.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I heard that Ivies don't look at the SAT scores as much as GPA and Extracurriculars though. if that's true, still retake?</p>
<p>SAT scores are not THAT important; but if you have a strong GPA and your SAT scores are low, they'll think your school has grade inflation. </p>
<p>Retake, and good luck.</p>
