Should I take the ACT/SAT again?

<p>I am a prospective applicant to Stanford, Chicago, Rice, and Penn among others, and I was wondering if it would be worth my money to try to improve my scores.</p>

<p>As of now I have:
33 ACT (35 English, 35 Math, 34 Reading, 29 Science, Combined E/W 31)
33 ACT (33 All four areas, 29 E/W)
2090 SAT :/ (680 CR, 720 Math, 690 Writing, 10 Essay)
221 PSAT (National Merit Semifinalist)</p>

<p>Subject Tests: 800 World History, 750 math 2, 710 Chemistry
AP: English Language 5, Spanish Language 5, US HIstory 5, World History 5, Chemistry 4, Calc AB 4, Calc BC 3</p>

<p>plus 6 leadership positions over three years, over 300 volunteer hours, great teacher recommendations, really good essays, and some work experience.</p>

<p>I am also Hispanic-American and an Oklahoma resident.
I have a 4.3 weighted GPA and rank 2-3 in my class of 720.</p>

<p>For Chicago, your ACT is fine. SAT IIs are not considered, so you wouldn’t even have to show them your SAT Is. Your admission would then depend on the quality of your essays.</p>

<p>If I were you, I would retake the SAT for Stanford and maybe Penn. Your ACT score is fine for both.</p>

<p>Yeah, focus on the essays at Chicago, they are key.</p>

<p>I’d say retake SAT and probably ACT for stanford/penn.</p>

<p>kinda funny, we have the exact same act/ sat scores. then again i probably won’t apply to any ivys. if i were you i’d focus on the act, especially the science. you could probably pull your composite up to a 35 if you were so inclined.</p>

<p>^yeah, a 34 in reading should mean that you can do better on science if you are ready.</p>
