<p>You should retake Spanish if it is of any consequence in your overall equation.</p>

<p>Remember you are asked for your best 2 SAT 2 and your best 2 are over 700, which is ok.</p>

<p>My daughter, submitted 4 SAT II, including Spanish (800) and Chinese (800) American Lieterature (750) and Biology (710).</p>

<p>She wanted to show that her commitment to learning languages extended into extracurricular activities.</p>

<p>This was reflected in her acceptance letter from Williams. It made note of her language achievements.</p>

<p>Good luck…</p>

<p>You look really awesome :smiley: Try to emphasize how you changed your community with your extracurriculars in the app. And have some really kick butt essays.</p>

<p>And it’s so weird, our stats are really similar. I got almost the same SAT and SAT IIs, and I’m an asian female from Texas. What school do you go to? I’m Plano East.</p>
