January SAT retake for Columbia (HEOP)

Hey guys
So I’m a senior planning to apply to Columbia HEOP program (CC). I currently have a SAT score of 1370 (640ERW, 730 M). I know that Columbia HEOP allows for lower SAT scores but I want to get a bit higher on my SAT so I am considering prepping for the JAN SAT. I called Columbia and they said that they will most likely accept JAN SAT scores for RD Should I still take the January SAT then?

I say give it a shot! I`m in a similar boat to yours- got higher than average SATs, but definitely not high enough for my personal liking. I will probably retake as well.

Just serious but are you also applying to Columbia through the HEOP program (NYS program for financially and academically disadvantaged students)?

Nope, I don`t qualify. I am applying RD.

There is no option to apply to Columbia as HEOP/ EOP on the common app, so how do the admission office know you are applying for HEOP ???!

Do you know how low your scores can be fr columbia heop?
