Deferred student retaking SAT?

<p>I got a 2150 when I took the SAT last January. I know this is relatively high, but compared to other MIT applicants, this is on the lower end. Am I allowed to retake the test?</p>

<p>Also, do I have to send the new scores to EVERY college that I'm applying to (ie my safety..)? If I already sent other apps, where I reported my current score, should I send an email to that school saying I'm sending new scores or will this score override the last one I sent?</p>

<p>I mean, of course you can retake it - it’s not like MIT is going to stop you - but being deferred means your scores are high enough. If you want to improve your application, focus on something worthwhile.</p>

<p>And no, you don’t have to send the new scores everywhere, you can choose.</p>

<p>actually if your score is 2150, there’s still room for significant improvement. If you think you can improve a lot, I suggest you retake it. But PiperXP is right in that you still need to improve your application in other ways and I don’t know if the time you’ll be spending on the SAT is worth it. </p>

<p>And no, you don’t send your new score to the other colleges you applied to unless their SAT deadline allows for it.</p>
