<p>780 CR 770 M 760 W with 12 essay.
This was my second time taking it - first time was in junior year and got 2010. Aiming for HYPS as well as other top colleges. Do you think I should retake?</p>
<p>Anyonneeee?</p>
<p>Not worth the time or money. A higher score will mean nothing with regards to admissions to any school in the country.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>@bluebayou Thanks! I was leaning towards that as well.
Anyonee else?</p>
<p>2310!? That is fantastic score, don’t worry about it!
P.S. I’m jealous!</p>
<p>all 2300+ scores are fine.</p>
<p>no.</p>
<p>rest assured that HYPS&c. don’t accept students solely based on amazing test scores. your scores are more than satisfactory. ;P</p>
<p>students with perfect 2400’s near double their chance at admission.
This statistic was posted on here a few times. The difference between a 2400 and 2390 is huge, but a 2390 and 2310 is minor.</p>
<p>Given that you don’t have any weak subjects, I think you’ll be fine. Now if it was like 800 800 710, then you might want to. But I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>it’s really not worth it. you have a fantastic score so it seems like you’re all set. you should spend your time on other things and be happy with how well you were able to do :)</p>
<p>only if you believe you could do better.</p>
<p>It’s the number of 800’s that increase your chances. A 790 is no better than a 750, but a 800 blows a 790 away. Greedy colleges are trying to increase their rateings.</p>
<p>So do you guys think my chances would be significantly improved if i got, a 2360-2400?</p>
<p>
I agree with the above. Your results are nicely balanced, and they show a good increase from the previous time you took the test.</p>
<p>

<p>Source, please? And be ready to separate those 800’s for 4.0 gpa’s uw. (The point is that no such data exists. A lot of those 800’s might also have superb transcripts, at least better than those <750 students.)</p>
<p>

<p>No doubt some are. But since only the mid-50% are reported, once one is above the 75th %, it doesn’t matter how much higher the applicant goes. (AP Stats)</p>
<p>800’s are reported…
Look at Stanford’s website for crying out loud.

<p>This specifically shows that an 800 in writing has a great chance at admission; in comparison to an 800 in CR or M.</p>
<p>Nope. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Nihility, you have to be careful to watch out for the lurking variable; although students with perfect writing may have a higher chance of entrance, it’s impossible to tell if it’s because of the writing score and not something else. To borrow a quote from last years valedictorian, “A good sat score won’t get you in, but a bad one will keep you out.” Personally, I’m a bit skeptical that scoring a perfect will suddenly boost your score significantly since there are simply so many other variables.</p>
<p>do not retake SAT.</p>
<p>number of 800s do NOT matter.
believe me, i know what i am talking about.</p>
<p>It’s rather naive to assume that because the acceptance rate for students with 800s is higher, one has a better chance of being accepted because one has has an 800. </p>
<p>Post hoc ergo propter hoc.</p>
