<p>Well I guess you sort of need context but:</p>
<p>SAT I (March): 710 M 730 CR (I can go higher) 800 W Total 2240
GPA: 3.9-4.0 W, 3.8-3.9 UW
Rank: 4-5/300
Courseload: Hardest Possible
Status: African American 100k over </p>
<p>Should I retake the SAT (with preparation of course) or not even bother? I'm not looking for a 2400, just a solid chance at Harvard statistics wise. Please don't give me "Your an URM your in already".</p>
<p>I think that your score is sufficient for top-tier but some people on CC might disagree with me (perfectionist psychos). </p>
<p>Ya, your stats are cool. Just make sure you have ECs to back it up.</p>
<p>You're stats are okay... no need to retake SAT..won't help unless you are 100% sure you can get above a 2350.</p>
<p>dont retake...you're an URM, you're in</p>
<p>I second Sheed30, spend that time w/ essays/volunteering/etc.</p>
<p>How does your school weight? If you're school weights an honors and/or AP as a 5, then how can you have a 3.9 WGPA and still ahve a hard courseload?</p>
<p>yeah, that was what I was thinking too, since u've hardest course load there gotta be a big difference btw W and UW GPAs.(for most cases)</p>
<p>some schools add .1 only for Ap and honor classes..</p>

how exactly do you know he's "in"... did you read his letters of rec, essays, etc...</p>
<p>no, but i assume they're at least decent. With the stats he's givin, you can't deny that he has a very...very good shot</p>
