Should I bother retaking sats?

<p>I got 800 CR, 720 M, 760(12) W first time, and 770 CR, 760 M, 750(11) W second time, making my HC 2320. (I retook for math). Will this score hold me back from anywhere in any way? If so, I probably will retake. I am applying engineering. Is 760 math not good enough (HYPSMC), if i have 800 SAT Level 2 Math, and 5 BC calc? Any suggestions?</p>

<p>it's REALLY good! you don't need to worry about your scores. now start worrying about essays =D</p>

<p>I agree that you should worry about applications now rather than your SAT's.</p>

<p>Sittin' pretty in my opinion.</p>

<p>your score is fine...</p>

<p>I think you are in range now, especially with the SAT II score and the AP score. Now it's time to work on other aspects of your application file. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I have the same stuff you do - I have a 760 math from the SAT I's and an 800 on the math level 2. Don't retake; chances are your score will fall, rather than rise, and an 800 level two shows that you definitely know math.</p>

<p>even for MIT/Caltech the math won't be a problem?</p>

<p>A 760 Math is like what? 1 or 2 questions wrong. Your scores are fine.</p>

<p>Yeah, no need to worry. Start deciding where you want to go now.</p>

<p>nope. most are by luck in the mid 700s</p>

<p>The college admissions offices know that a 760 means that you only missed, what, 2 questions? They won't care, especially with an 800 math level 2. You've proven that you can do math - MIT and Caltech will understand. (I hope, anyway, cuz I'm sure as hell not retaking the SATs!)^^</p>

A 760 is perfectly fine on SAT I given the 800 on SAT II and the 5 on BC calc - it definitely won't detract from your application to either of these schools.</p>

<p>"Hi, I have basically perfect scores good enough for anywhere. Any suggestions?"</p>

<p>wow, great scores. no need to worry about it.</p>
