<p>so let me preface this with some quick facts about me</p>
<p>national merit semifinalist
3.5 GPA at academically rigourous school (top 10% class rank)
8 APs
took sat IIs AS A SOPHOMORE
math 1- 730
math 2- 740
chem- 740</p>
<p>took SAT as junior 2030
crit- 630
math- 700
writ- 700</p>
<p>took SAT in Oct. 2070
crit- 670
math- 800
writ- 600</p>
<p>superscore (so far?) 2170 (1470/1600)
crit- 670
math- 800
writ 700</p>
<p>so my idea is, that in a week, im going to walk into the nov test and focus on 1 of either 2 things. Idea number one is i go for an 800 in SAT II math 1,2. Im sure i can get an 800 in these without even trying, as i took them as a sophomore before. idea #2 is i try to bring up my crit reading score to a 730+, and get a 1530/1600, which may open more doors for me. </p>
<p>the colleges im applying to are.
Northeastern (full tuition for NMF)- looking to get into honors college
Fordham (full tuition for NMSF)
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
Bowdoin
(any suggestions?)</p>
<p>which one would be better off for me to take? is the 800s in the SAT IIs worth not retaking the SATs?</p>
