<p>I think they only count your highest SAT scores regardless of when you took them, so your scores will be 680 770 800, which is pretty good, except for the CR. That will be your weak point, so retake if possible.</p>

<p>Other than that, pretty well qualified. Bear in mind that the really high end schools (MIT, Princeton, Columbia, Duke, JHU maybe) don't have to give fin aid to survive. You won't get much from them. Tufts, you might.</p>

<p>i have to disagree with fzzyrn. many of the top schools do not give out merit aid. however, most of them, including princeton and columbia, do give out great financial aid.</p>
