<p>I already sent in a mentor rec and my research materials during EA. Is there anything else that I should do?</p>
<p>kthx</p>
<p>Edit: I improved my SAT physics score from 780 to 800, is it worth sending? I had two 800's from chem and math ii for EA.</p>
<p>I'd say send it, anytime your file gets updated, someone somewhere has to actually pull it out and look at it. maybe not yet though, the wave of RD apps is about to come in, and if your school does semesters, you'll get some new grades soon. Then again, I know nothing about the inner workings of an admission office, so someone else might have better advice.</p>
<p>You say you already have 800's in chem and math, so I doubt sending the Physics 800 in will do much good. I guess you could if you really wanted to, but its just another 9.50 gone. Up to you.</p>
<p>...you retook a 780? No offense, but doesn't that seem a little bit silly? DON'T send it. I would not look favorably on someone who retook a 780 - I think in admissions 780 is just about the same as 800, and it seems like you are really test-score centered... Anyway, I am not an admissions officer, but I got 760 on physics, it was my only SAT II science, and I got into MIT EA. I DON'T think your test scores are what is hurting you at all. Find ways of sending things that show your cool personality, and how you match with the qualities MIT is looking for in applicants. The test scores will not make a big difference, I am almost positive.</p>
<p>I signed up for the Nov SAT because I thought I failed Oct one, but it turns out I didn't. So if i don't change it to a SAT II, i just wasted $60, since collegeboard never refunds anything.</p>
<p>What should I do to show my personality?</p>
