does it look bad that i took the SAT twice?

ive heard that re taking the sat doesnt look too great on college apps UNLESS you significantly improve.
my score was pretty good the first time and went up about 70 points the second time; will highly-ranked schools look down on me for that?

4+ is too much. 0-3 is nothing – it’s very common.

Schools just take your highest score on each part. I don’t think they micro-analyze.

No problem at all.

2 to 3 times is standard.
