Should I retake the SAT? [2300]

<p>I took it twice and ended up with a 2300, which I'd be content with if I hadn't lost all 100 points in the math section :( I'm not planning on applying to Ivy League schools, or any schools of their caliber (other than CMU, which is basically a pipe dream of mine haha). Will having an unbalanced SAT score hurt my chances at other schools, though? Sorry for being so vague - I don't have a list of colleges I'm looking into yet :/</p>

<p>Would taking the Math 2 SAT II and scoring well on that make up for my 700 on math?
+ can colleges see how many times you've taken the SAT?</p>

<p>if you could answer any of these questions it'd appreciate it!</p>

<p>A 2300 or better is achieved by ~7000 students in the world . . . that’s top 0.4%</p>

<p>c: haha yeah i know i’m being picky, but i’m paranoid!
don’t a lot of schools look just at your combined CR + Math score?</p>

<p>I have the same score as you (except my 700 is in Writing) and I’m not retaking even though I’m applying to the Ivies. If you get a 780+ on Math II your SAT I math score would be overlooked. Also, a 2300 is a great, great score. Retaking it will not improve admissions chances, and colleges can see how many times you took it. And even of those schools that look only at CR+M, a 1500 is at the higher end of most any college’s range.</p>

<p>Don’t Worry.</p>

<p>Thank you! That’s the best news I’ve heard in a while; I really wasn’t looking forward to taking it again. I’ll probably focus on studying for Math II, then.</p>

<p>Good luck with your college apps and all : )</p>
