<p>They will take your highest of each section, so the 790 math, not the 750, will be counted. Your score is therefore 2320. Do not retake the SAT I.</p>

<p>Why on earth are you applying to 13 schools, with half of them being Ivy League? You need to cut the list by half and make it more balanced. The Ivy Leagues have very low acceptance rates, and even students with perfect stats don't get in.</p>

<p>well, yeah, im applying to so many reach schools, because its either a first tier school or rutgers, for me. My parents insist upon that. so wouldn't it be better to apply to more... as i've already been accepted to rutgers pharm and thus, already have a safety for rebound. </p>

<p>also, should i retake SAT iis, if not the SAT I?</p>

<p>anyone? the deadline for Jan. 27 SATs or SATiis is Dec. 26. so i need to decide soon</p>

<p>Yeah - don't retake the SAT Is! There's no point! :) You can only increase your composite score by what, 80 points? lol. Rather retake the SAT 2s.</p>

<p>Merry Christmas and good luck!</p>

<p>hope this isn't too late...your chem score is quite good, congrats!
...that (and Latin!) are the hardest of the SAT iis...you might want to retake the Lit, and take a language, too...if you have any proficiency in a language the ivies will expect you to demonstrate it.</p>

<p>happy christmas eve to all!</p>
