I’m hoping to apply to UCs, and I’m a junior who still has time to retake the SAT. I’ve taken SAT with essay twice:
1st: 1510 and 16 essay
2nd: 1540 and 11 essay
I know that UCs don’t superscore, so I would have to pick one of these to submit to colleges or retake SAT with essay again and hope to score higher. what should I do?
Oof yeah I’m in the same pickle except I’m a senior… if none of your colleges require all SAT scores sent then I would prob retake it since you are clearly capable of acing the SAT part of it. If there are colleges that require you to send every single SAT, I might refrain because colleges don’t want to see you taking it so many times. In that case, probably want to just submit 1510 because it starts to matter less and less once you cross 1500 and your essay score isn’t that bad for that one.
Three test scores wouldn’t be consider too many by any school.
Very few schools require, and consider, all test scores.
