<p>So i am applying to 2 Ivies (columbia and cornell) and some pretty selective schools: Vanderbilt, Emory, NYU Stern,maybe Gtown and Barnard</p>
<p>However I have taken the SATs three times and did horrible the first time, 1370 the second time, and also pretty bad the third time (slightly better the first)...but I know I can do better because I always get 1450's on practice tests...so my question is should i take it a 4th time and will it look bad that I dropped a good amount the third time?</p>
