<p>Why? Especially the latter. Your 2230 alone is sufficiently competitive for Vanderbilt. Your ACT translates to about a 2330, so I’m at a loss as to why you find it necessary to retake it.</p>

<p>Well thanks, I didn’t realize they were competitive for Vandy. But I am hoping to get a 700+ on reading and more perfect scores on subsections.</p>

<p>Dude, your fine. You dont need to retake your SAT and ACT. Save that time to work on college applications and write spectacular essays. And enjoy your senior year. :)</p>

<p>You know, you don’t have to submit both scores. If I were you, I’d submit your ACT only. Then your 690 in reading won’t even matter. A 35 is an exceptional score, and retaking it for “more perfect scores on subsections” sounds like a tedious waste of your time.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! I’ve already registered for both tests and I don’t really mind standardized testing. So I’ll probably still go through with them. </p>

<p>Could y’all chance me on my other schools in considering:
Baylor, Trinity U (in San Antonio, TX), Columbia, and UVa</p>
