Will this SAT score negatively affect my odds for getting into MIT

[Corroborator]

<p>Haha, I said negatively affect my odds instead of hurt my chances because I think it's kind of trite...anyways...</p>

<p>I took the SAT for the first time June 3 and got a 2110
Math: 700
Critical Reading: 700
Writing: 710 with a 10 essay</p>

<p>I plan on taking the Math II, Biology and Chemistry subject tests in the fall.</p>

<p>I've looked on college board and my scores are quite a bit lower than MIT's median, will this in any way affect how the admissions office will consider me and would it be a good idea to retake?</p>

<p>I don't have too too many EC's, Captain of the Cross country team (i'm not that fast, about 16:30 for 3 miles), I compete on the debate team when I have a chance and I should have obtained my eagle scout by the time I apply to MIT. I'm also AP scholar with distinction after this year (my junior year) woo woo, 1 test away from national ap scholar. I also give old people in my neighborhood sponge baths (just kidding)</p>

<p>Anyways Im not going to go cut myself if yall tell me I need better SAT scores; I would just like to know if I need to prepare to retake it. Right now I'm looking strongly at MIT or Rice, both difficult to get into from what I've read. Thanks for your time/advice.</p>

<p>Several students got in (and post here) with 700 math scores, etc. To be completely honest, if you have a 700 score, it's not really going to affect your admission one way or the other. If the rest of your application is amazing, they'll go "eh, his scores were a bit lower, but we don't admit using numbers so he's in." If the rest of your application doesn't convey what they're looking for, an 800 score couldn't have saved it.</p>

<p>Don't worry about it. I mean, if you have free time, go ahead and try again, but if it comes down to studying for the SAT vs. working on meaningful projects and essays, choose the latter.</p>
