Taking SAT 4th Time to Qualify for Presidential Scholarship?

Test Preparation
1

<p>My dad was emailing one of his old bosses who is an admissions officer for Rutgers University. He told my dad that if I took the SAT's one more time and combined with my GPA and class rank, I would qualify for the Presidential Scholarship. I have a 2130 on my SAT's currently (700 Reading, 710 Math, 720 Writing) and he wants me to take it a fourth time this November to see if I can improve. </p>

<p>I wanted to first ask what is the presidential scholarship? Secondly, the admissions officer said I would have to get over a 2140 to qualify so is this true? I am also afraid that taking the test a 4th time would look bad and if I don't improve, it might also detriment my chances of getting into certain colleges. So does anyone have any opinion or information that can help me make my decision? I wasn't even considering applying to Rutgers until my dad told me about this scholarship. I don't want to take the SAT's again (the mental torture is enough the first 3 times) but if I can get a full ride, why not. Thanks!</p>

<p>You should take it a fourth time and get a 2400, so you can get a full ride to Harvard.</p>

<p>Ok let me rephrase that, any realistic answers that actually pertain to the questions being asked?</p>

<p>If you believe that your score can increase 100+ points, it’s worth it to retake. However, if something drastic hasn’t changed (e.g. study habits), then it’s a waste of time to retake.</p>
