Should I retake the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am a rising senior interested in Computer Science at a competitive school like Carnegie Mellon, U Chicago, or Princeton. I took the SAT in my sophomore year and scored 2080 - good, but not great. I took the ACT in my junior year and scored 35. Because most/all of my colleges require either test, not both, should I bother retaking the SAT this fall? What might be the effect, admissions-wise, if I send just my ACT to colleges? Or, if I sent in just my current scores, would colleges realize that the difference in scores is due to the year in between?</p>

<p>ACT: 35 (English: 35, Math: 32, Reading: 36, Science: 35, essay: 8)
SAT: 2080 (Critical Reading: 640, Math: 780, Writing: 660, essay: 8)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Don’t see why you should, you’re ACT scores are rather high. If your other stats are good then spend the time that you would spend practicing for the SATs crafting superb and unique essays!</p>
