<p>you are just not good enough for any school with a 2290 you will only get into crappy schools like University of Idaho and CUNY...</p>
<p>give me a break.</p>
<p>HEY! CUNY and U. of Idaho aare very respectable schools.</p>
<p>I'm sure zogoto thinks they are...</p>
<p>But still, say you improve your SAT score by 50 points. How much do you think the adcoms at Harvard are going to care? I think the general sentiment is that colleges aren't looking at the Writing score as seriously as the others, but you should probably check on that with a Harvard person.</p>
<p>I have a friend w/ a 2290. 720m, 800r, 770w that is retaking for the math. He got 80 on the PSAT too...I would say only retake if you are confident on improving the writing to 750+.</p>
<p>plus you are just going to look like a score-hungry applicant like the rest of them.</p>
<p>your SAT score looks fine, i wouldn't retake. Do you challenge yourself by taking any AP courses. If so, how'd u do on them? Otherwise the rest of ur app looks good.</p>
<p>I took 4 AP tests (5 coursest though, I didn't take the english test this year), one sophomore year (Calc BC), and three junior year (USH, Phys C EM/Mech, and Chem). 5's on all.</p>
<p>I am pretty confident I could get Writing to 750+, and perhaps even an 800. What I'm not sure about is if I can get another 770 in CR since that is usually my weakest. An 800 in math might be jeopordized since it just takes one mistake.</p>
<p>No--don't retake it. All I read was your question and your scores, in all honesty. But I'm sure you could find something better to do with your Sat morning--go volunteer at a park, catch up on your work, hang out with your friends, get some sleep.</p>
<p>it seems your comparing yourself to the others at RSI exclusively, which really shouldn't be done.</p>
