Should I re-take SATs? Specific situations

Applying to College
1

<p>I go to a small private school with a dual curriculum and only about 160 kids in my grade. </p>

<p>My GPA (unweighted) will likely be around a 92, 93 all honors and AP classes.</p>

<p>SAT breakdown (one sitting)
CR-700
Math-650
Writing- 780</p>

<p>I have a buttload of ECs and plenty of internship hours including a few national science publications. I'll hopefully have hundreds of community service hours as well.</p>

<p>I hope to apply ED to Emory, I'll be one of like three kids applying and their numbers are all way lower than mine. If not Emory, it'll likely be Brandeis. Should I retake the SATs???</p>

<p>Also, should I bother to send in SAT 2 scores? I have two that I think will help me, and 2 that are eh. If so, should I (re)/take more?</p>

<p>Any tips?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Why NOT retake the SAT?</p>

<p>Why NOT sent the Sat Subject tests?</p>

<p>Remember that you can use score choice for most colleges with the SAT, and at all colleges for SAT subject. You can pick and choose which scores send and which don’t. So, you can send the best of your two SATs if you take it again (assuming your intended colleges allow it), and you can definitely just send those two good SAT subject test scores.</p>

<p>I don’t want to have to restudy if I don’t have to, I have 11 classes to balance!!! I haven’t taken regular SATs since march, and I’ll have to ifnd subjects to study again…</p>

<p>Most students score higher the second time they take the test. Most schools superscore, so there is no harm in sitting for the exam again, but your scores are pretty strong.</p>
