Should I retake 780 or 790 SAT Chem & Physics if I'm applying for CMU

Test Preparation

<p>It seems like got</p>

<p>10 blanks & 1 wrong on Physics in October (probably 780 - 800)</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>2 blanks & 1 wrong on Chem in October (probably 780)...</p>

<p>If I want to apply for Carnegie Mellon Electrical Engineering, will 780s or 790s decrease my chance a lot?... Or should I retake them for 800?</p>

<p>You’re fine. I think it would just make you look too score-obsessed if you retook them.</p>

<p>You’re…joking, right? If you aren’t, then you need to get over yourself, my friend – I mean that in the nicest way possible.</p>

<p>Those scores are absolutely fine, you need a serious chill pill. Instead of retaking them, you need to go outside, talk to people, maybe make some new friends and join the real world where a 780 is a great score…especially if you aren’t applying to HYP.</p>

<p>*** how do you know your score already?</p>

5

<p>It’s just prediction, just based on the discussion here and with my friends.</p>

<p>BTW I’m not applying to any Ivies; I’m applying to UIUC, University of Michigan, and RPI(If could, Stanford too). Is it necessary to get 800s for applying them…?</p>

<p>Are you kidding? Retake a 780? (Which, by the by, you might not get)
Don’t be ridiculous. NO ONE needs to retake a test if you score that high.</p>

<p>780 and 790 are excellent. and dont be so sure you got a 780 and 790 :)</p>

<p>Thanks you guys anyway, I won’t retake it if I get a 780+ :)</p>
