<p>applying to MIT, stanford, caltech, harvard, princeton, others.... </p>
<p>what should i retake in december? SATII writing or SATI</p>
<p>SATI:</p>
<p>june: 780M + 630V = 1410
october: 710M + 750V = 1460
composite: 780M + 750V = 1530
(on the app, MIT only takes SATI scores from one date, but when i called, they said they take combined).</p>
<p>SATII:</p>
<p>writing 700... English is 4th language.... colleges will know that.
math 2c 800
french 800
physics 790
math 1c 730</p>
<p>technically, you don't really need to retake anything (very impressive for your fourth language, i mean i know people who got 610's on writing and it's their first language...) but, i would say retake the SAT. You could probably get an 800 math and squeeze maybe 10 more points out of verbal, or at least prove to them that that 750 wasn't totally out of the blue</p>
<p>Hey, I have similar problem.
My SAT I is fine (780M 770V) and my physics and math2c 800's are nifty, but my writing is an abysmal 690 (English is my first language!) I will be applying to the same colleges. Will this ruin me? How do I take it as a stand in for the Dec test?</p>
