<p>I am interested in applying to two Ivy League schools (Cornell and Penn) and some other well known schools. I got a 1390 (2100 cumulative) on the SAT but a 34 on the ACT. I'm just wondering if it is worth it for me to take the SAT another time and hopefully get about 100-150 points higher...how much would this help my application since I already have what would be comparable a SAT score from my ACT score when it is converted?</p>
<p>Thanks for any suggestions.</p>
<p>Try to get above the average scores for students who get into those schools. For example, here is a listing of average SAT scores of students who got into Penn: [College</a> Search - University of Pennsylvania - Penn - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>a 34 on the ACT is a great score, so that might help make up for your “weak” SAT scores. although, a 1340/2100 is a solid score</p>
<p>…but a 34 is way better.</p>
<p>If I were you, I might even consider just sending in the ACT scores. And not the SAT scores. But I’d talk to more knowledgeable people first and get more legit opinions.</p>
<p>^ that actually sounds fine. but my advice is always the same: if you can do better this time around, why not?</p>
<p>i’d take it again.</p>
