<p>So I've already taken the chemistry SATii's twice. First was a 770 and the next one, not a big improvement, a 780.</p>
<p>You might already be asking yourself, "Whaat?!?! Why would you retake these SATs when you already did so well? There isn't even that much of a difference between a 780 and an 800!"</p>
<p>Well, here's the problem. I'm trying to get accepted into an accelerated medical program, one that allows you to complete the typical 8 year medical school schedule in around 7 or 6. In essence, it has the benefits of allowing you to experiment in undergrad years while also guaranteeing your entrance into medical school.
Problem: It is basically like applying to a highly selective ivy school. And the only SATii's they actually stress are Chemistry and Math ii. So I'd want to do as well as possible on chemistry regardless.
But is retaking the chem sat's a third time detrimental to my record in applying to this kind of program even if I get an 800?</p>
<p>Other factors to take into account:
2340 SAT's (planning to retake for a 2400)
790 Math ii SATs
4.5 GPA
EMT-Basic at my local rescue squad
Several Hospital Volunteer Positions
Planning to shadow a doctor over the summer
Competed in various competitive science competitions (science league, merck state science day, JETS)</p>
<p>Should I retake them?</p>
