<p>Definitely worth applying ED and have as a good a shot as anyone. If you’re SAT is going to go up “slightly” than it’s really not worth it. What is your breakdown?</p>

<p>Superscore: Math = 780 Writing = 760 CR = 680. My goal is to raise it from 2200 to 2230-2250</p>

<p>Hmm, it may not be worth it to retake. Your math score is more important and 20 more extra points there really wont help you. If you can significantly raise CR, then maybe.</p>

<p>SAT scores are more categorized than anything. there’s a 2200-2300 range and then there’s a 2300+ range. If you can’t jump, I wouldn’t worry about it that much. Nail that chem SAT II and keep up the grades, and you have a shot, sizable if ED</p>
