SAT score went up by 10 points, should I send them?

Applying to College
1

<p>My SAT score (assuming superscoring) went up by 10 points. So I used to have 640 reading, 730 math, and 720 writing. Only my math went up and is now a 740. Should I pay to have it resubmitted? Maybe I should only pay to have it resubmitted to the more selective schools I have applied to? Or ones where I applied for scholarships?</p>

<p>Here is my list of where I have applied... Rice University, Trinity University, Austin College, Texas A&M (already got in but need scholarships), Baylor University (already got in but need scholarships), UT Austin, and UT Dallas (am automatic admit but have not been admitted yet). In case of all state universities, I am applying for the honors colleges. And for all schools (except Rice, which does not really give them), I am applying for scholarships. </p>

<p>SO, should I send the new scores? Will taking the SAT another time kind of cancel out the 10 points anyway? Will 10 points matter?</p>

<p>isn’t it one question? 730/740 are same.</p>

<p>It’s probably not significant enough to waste the time and money to do it, as it’s unlikely to change the outcome - unless it’s worth the time and effort to eliminate any anxiety that you should have sent it in. Sometimes there’s an emotional component to these things that just triumphs logic.</p>

<p>Just imagine this…an admissions committee reviewing your profile and rejecting you. If they re-reviewed your exact profile with a 10 point increase do you think they would accept?<br>
I imagine you are thinking no, which is most likely the right answer to your question.</p>
