Stanford Early Action

<p>I'm a senior and my academic record is okay but not really crazy good enough to get into every Ivy League... I have a decent GPA (4.0+ weighted), 34 act composite (first time, going to retake again to see if i can raise it), 3 SAT2's 700+ and some EC's.</p>

<p>Stanford is my first choice and I'm applying in case there is that 1% chance that I get accepted. I took the SAT once and didn't study for it, and I regret it. I made a 2070 I think. I'm planning on taking it again in October but I saw on Stanford's site that Early Action apps are due November 1. If I retake the SAT in Oct, those score won't be out early enough to submit to Stanford, right? I'm unsure if I should try early action with a 2070 SAT or wait to submit the retake (hopefully with studying etc I'll get 2250+). I know that I don't have outstanding stats (unlike some other people on this forum, makes me sad =[....) but I was wondering which option would give me a better chance.</p>

<p>A 34 is incredibly good. In my opinion, you could submit that and not even worry about the SAT.</p>

<p>Regardless, [the</a> answer to your question is yes, you could take the SAT in October and the school would consider it before making a decision.](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/deadlines/index.html]the”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/deadlines/index.html)</p>
