<p>You will find that being done with collegeboard sophomore year is more valuable than the 30 points you’ll gain from taking it again.</p>
<p>But if you want, take two blue book tests, if you beat 2330 both times then I suppose go for it.</p>
<p>Nope. You’re done. Enjoy your ECs and write a smokin’ essay.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think you need to. I got a Harvard likely letter with a 2300 SAT (first and only sitting).
Ivies are swamped with perfect SAT applicants anyway, so they are forced to pay more attention to other parts of the application. Having a great transcript/GPA, challenging classes, interesting EC’s and a superb, original essay is much more important. Also, it’s important that you’re passionate about what you present on your aplpication. This really will come through. I promise you.
Remember, admissions committees look at your application as a whole, they don’t just chop out anyone without a 2400 SAT. Being an original person, and just being yourself is the most important. I know it sounds cheesy and not very specific, but honestly, that is what helped me the most.</p>
<p>nope. you’re definitely going to get rejected all because you didn’t get a 2350+. colleges are going to look down upon you, so you better get your credit card out and sign up for the next SAT coming up quick.</p>
<p>Okay then, thank you so much everyone (besides andrewchen T-T… and since when were you from Maryland?) :D!
I really really didn’t want to retake it, but peer pressure almost influenced me to do so… So I’m glad that the general consensus is to not retake ^^.</p>
<p>well i took the sat test as sphomore and made 2380. writing mess me up and i am not going to retake it again.</p>
<p>You should try curing cancer instead, it might help bump up that awful score. If not, there’s always ITT Tech and University of Phoenix.</p>
<p>Johnlin by the way you wrote that comment, I am surprised you got a 2380. haha :D</p>
<p>DO NOT RETAKE. won’t improve your chances at all.</p>
<p>I’ll be ecstatic with a 2300. :(</p>
<p>I got a 2330, as well, and though I really don’t want to retake it, I might. I got Math 790, CR 740, and Writing 740. </p>
<p>If it were any other arrangement whatsoever of these scores, I’d be thrilled and move on. Actually, if I got any other arrangement of 2300+ I’d be extremely happy. However, I’ve always scored perfect/close to perfect on CR when taking diagnostics/practice tests, so I think I <em>might</em> want to retake because I know that I didn’t do my personal best here. Though there’s a definite possibility that I could go down in Writing or Math. But like I said, CR is usually my best, which is why I’m a bit upset.</p>
<p>So, no, I don’t think you should retake. Honestly, If my CR and Writing scores were reversed, I wouldn’t even be entertaining the idea of a retake. You did great! And honestly, as long as someone tried their best, their score should be considered great!</p>
<p>^ If your CR and writing scores were reversed, nothing would change. </p>
<p>790 + 740 + 740 = 2290</p>
<p>You made a typo somewhere :)</p>
<p>Oops! lol sorry, thanks for pointing that out! I meant Math 790, CR 740, Writing 800 (still 2330 total though)</p>
