<p>NOTE: Basically, my parents want me to increase my chances forever by retaking tests and such. I know improving my scores are great, but how much will I have to improve to make a difference? I'm most def retaking SATI tho.
I guess the main question is SATII.</p>

<p>It seems like the general choices for responses are these:
No way, Big stretch, Low competitive, High competitive, Small stretch, IN!</p>

<p>comments are HIGHLY appreciated</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>You have a very good resume (minus DDR Club - although that I might be something amusing to throw in somewhere). I think you have as good a shot as everyone. Don't retake the tests more than twice. I really believe that Stanford holds that against you. Your SAT I can be retaken once, if you feel that your total score can go up 50-75 points. Otherwise, don't worry about it.</p>

<p>you like you have a great shot.</p>

<p>your sat's won't be what keeps you out or gets you in.</p>

<p>trying again isn't going to hurt you, you're really close to a 2200+ score, so go for it.</p>

4

<p>definitely DON'T retake your SATIIs.</p>

5

<p>Why would you even consider retaking SAT IIs??
All your scores are fine, SAT IIs are near-perfect, ECs are great. Write good essays, and you'll be in.</p>

<p>You can get in right now as is.</p>

<p>Stop worrying.</p>

<p>thanks guys</p>
