<p>I want to go into engineering, and my top four schools are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Virginia Tech</li>
</ol>
<p>I have a very strong curriculum in school (straight A's in 11 AP classes plus three other college level courses), and strong math and science classes (AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC), excellent ECs (including Drum Major in marching band, NHS membership, XC and Track for 3-4 years, and lead roles in multiple school plays), over 1000 community service hours, and I should have great essays and recommendations. But, I'm worried about my SAT scores. I've taken it twice:</p>
<p>Critical Reading 630
Math 680
Writing 640
1310/1950 overall
(superscore)</p>
<p>Should I retake the SAT one last time this October? 1950 isn't HORRIBLE, but I'm worried about my chances for admission into schools like I listed above. Most people, especially at places like Cornell, have 2100 or higher. Other than SAT scores, I feel that I have as good of a chance as other people applying to these schools.</p>
