<p>Happy New Year! I posted at wrong forum so I put the question here again.</p>
<p>A current junior with SAT (CR:710, M:760, W:800). For getting into Ivies, can anyone provide suggestions that should focus on retaking SAT, or spend time on competitions before May? don't have any national awards yet, attend several clubs, but not been any club president, and plan to take SAT-II Chem and Biology in June. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>from what i’ve heard, ivies in general don’t consider a 2400 significantly better than a 2390 when looking at applicants. if you would like to try for a higher critical reading score, then you can retake it, but colleges also check to see if you stand out. good job in writing though!</p>
<p>You have a fair amount of time to prepare still (until October at the latest) and you do have a section you could improve on a fair amount so I think it would be worth re-taking at some point.</p>
