<p>I know this topic has probably come up several times before, but I couldn't find a thread that addressed the question I have. So here goes:</p>
<p>I recently re-took the SAT I, aiming to improve upon my old score (I only took it once in HS) and succeeded in doing so. I went from 1350/1600 to 1570/1600 (1930 to 2150) and my question is: how much will this actually improve my chances of getting into a top-tier school like NYU, Rice, or William and Mary given that I attend Appalachian State and maintain a 3.7ish gpa, and had a respectable HS record?</p>
<p>Thanks for any input, and sorry if this kind of post is stale or redundant.</p>
