Should I take the SAT II again?

<p>I am a rising senior (international student) and I currently got SAT II Physics 760 and SAT II Math IIC 780. I am aiming for Stanford and Brown. As it already this time of the year... I still need to improve my SAT I score in October (right now its 2150, aiming for 2300+), which leaves me with only November to do SAT II's again. However if I understand correctly I can still send Nov scores into Early Action/Decision, but I will not be able to see my scores before I send them? </p>

<p>Hence I was wondering if these SAT II scores are good enough to get into Stanford or Brown if I manage to get 2300+ on the SAT I (keeping in mind I am an international student, Chinese Canadian, so nothing special), or whether I should take the bother to review or take them again and hopefully get 800 on both? Would it seem very desperate if I took the SAT II twice? </p>

<p>Or maybe I should just wait into RD to submit my applications for the good schools...? Will my chances increase or decrease if I do RD instead of EA/ED? </p>

<p>Sorry for the confusing mess of questions... I would appreciate it if somebody can give me some advice! :D</p>

<p>Your SAT II scores are good. If you really want to retake them, it isn’t a big deal. You won’t be rejected for taking the SAT II a second time.</p>

<p>You can send your November scores straight to EA/ED. The downside to this is that if you are not pleased with the scores, or would have rather used your first SAT II scores, there is no going back. </p>

<p>EA/ED does not increase your chances of being accepted. So in your case, I would just do RD.</p>
