Hi, my highest score for ACT is a 34 and my highest score for the SAT is a 1500. I was planning on retaking the SAT, but I’m not sure how much I can improve. I plan on applying to some Ivies and other top schools. Should I just take SAT subject tests and focus on other things (extracurriculars, essays, etc.) or should I retake either the ACT or SAT
If you’re just gunning for Ivies, then don’t retake. However if you want merit scholarships at other lower-tier universities (Rice, UVa, USC, Vandy etc.) then it might be an advantage to have that 36 or 1600. I would only go that route if you are in the UMC “donut hole” though.
