<p>Hello. I need some advice based on whether I should take the SAT or SAT subject tests on November 5. I have already taken the SAT one time on May, 2011, but wasn't satisfied with my score (1860). I wasn't able to take it again on October, and so now I have to either take the SAT II's or the regular SAT in november, because I won't be able to take the other by December as my first two deadlines (UVA and W&M) are January 1st. UVA requires at least two subject tests, however the other colleges that I'm applying to do not require them, but I realize it wouldn't hurt to take them anyways. If I don't take the SAT II's I can't apply to UVA, yet if I don't take the SAT reasoning again it hurts my chances for the other 5 colleges I'm applying to (and I'm obviously not guaranteed to get into UVA).</p>
<p>Other colleges I'm applying to include Virginia Tech and JMU. If it helps, I'm in the top 10% of my class, have a 4.1 GPA, received 5's on both my AP's last year, taking 4 AP's this year, I have very little EC's unfortunately but still some, I'm a minority, received an 1860 for the SAT, and will be a first generation college student. So what should I do? Re take the regular SAT or take the SAT subject tests?</p>
