<p>MIT: I’m guessing Jozhe’s just one of those overly-over-achievers. An Asian knows what it’s like to get a 770, 780 or 790 on SATI math when he/she could be getting 800s. It’s a good score, but it’s not the score you know you’re 100% capable of achieving. Jozhe has already shown that he’s not a ■■■■■. Granted he can make the non-790+ people feel inadequate at some times, but my guess is that he wants to be the best. Another guess is that he has a case of OCD, but that’s for him to know.</p>
<p>
Well, I like 800s. A 790 was an unnecessary blemish in my line of 800s.
Also, if I would have received something around 650ish, then I would have gladly accepted my defeat.
This is an inherently different matter.
A 790 just tears me apart.</p>
<p>I am cognizant of the fact that a 790 is a very, very good score. An 800 would have been better.</p>
<p>I wish my life was that swell to worry about a 790…</p>
<p>There are many schools that require you to send all your scores. Many schools look down upon students who are only looking for numbers. If it bothers you that much, take it again. Let me just warn you though. Colleges often believe that one hour of testing plus one hour of preparing (driving to the site, eating breakfast, waking up early etc.) can be used on something more important such as essays or an activity. Look up a former poster named christiansoldier. He had great stats. He got a 790 on SAT II Chem and retook it. He did not get into nearly as many schools as one would expect. He blatantly admits that the retake is what killed him. This has to be a personal decision though. Do not bother asking people on here.</p>

Nope, I am not a she-male or a ladyboy.
I am a male.</p>
<p>All joking/bashing aside, I’m really starting to worry about this kid. If OP thinks that a 790 “tears him apart”, he’s gonna have a VERY rough life. Rejection is all around us, and up until now, 85% of us have been sheltered from it in various forms. If you consider a 790 on a measly subject test a rejection, then ****, idk what to say. </p>
<p>NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE, can ever achieve perfection. You, sir, are going after that goal, which is unattainable. A 790 is NOT a blemish, and considering you already have like 7 800s in your bank, idk why you would even take, much less RETAKE, another test. </p>
<p>Trust me. In the colleges’ eyes, a number whore (aka you) = automatic rejection. It’s been proven, and don’t ask me for proof, because you have the whole freakin site to find it. And it’s pretty easily attainable at that.</p>
<p>Well said. J, please look up christiansoldier.</p>
<p>^^ Cosign all the way.</p>
<p>
I do not!
I would love to.</p>
<p>Actually, I am pretty laid-back about everything, except about the SAT.</p>
<p>
Please don’t make racial generalisations, thanks.</p>
<p>After looking back at this…</p>
<p>son you ass backwards.</p>
<p>I know, that kid was weird. A 790 come people will kill for that. . .literally.</p>
<p>I got a 710 on my SAT II Chemistry Practice Test.</p>
<p>I’d be happier if I got a 790 on it.</p>
