<p>Above the range wouldn’t be a reason you get in by itself, but above can’t hurt</p>
<p>If it is a matter of taking it again to go from in the range to above the range, you need to think on a case by case. For example, I got 2200 and am retaking march because I feel like I can substantially improve my 690CR. Although it’s in the range for almost all elite schools, I did better on all practice tests and know I can get it to the mid 7s</p>
