<p>I know this question probably has been asked before, but what scores do applicants need to have in order to be competitive to elective colleges?</p>
<p>I got 2210 in the January SAT.
CR 730
M 770
W 710</p>
<p>Should I retake?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance. =)</p>
<p>I don’t think you NEED to but it can’t hurt.</p>
<p>What about me? I got 2250 - 790 CR, 770 W and 690 M</p>
<p>@hopefullybrown 15:
wouldn’t it hurt if I get a lower mark?</p>
<p>@putturani:
My target was 2250. So I wouldn’t retake if I were you. That being said, if you apply to colleges such as MIT and Caltech, the 690 maths could hurt.</p>
<p>By the way, this is my first attempt. if it makes any difference to things.</p>
<p>I say retake. I’ve seen the statistics (ex. Williams, Amherst, etc.) and 2300s seem like they get accepted more often than 2200s. That, and a higher score can’t really hurt.</p>
