I have taken SAT I 3 times now(twice during my Junior yr and again in Nov.), but I am not entirely satisfied with my score of 2110. I am considering on taking it again in January--for the 4th time. However, I have heard that colleges shun at the prospect at taking the SAT I more than 3 times. Can any one confirm this notion? Maybe specify the reasons.

On another note, Yale, among other top-tier colleges, states that the LATEST date to take the ACT is in February. Think about this: FEBRUARY-- a month after the January 1st regular application deadline. So, would it be ridiculous or even an disadvantage to take the ACT in February (praying for 33+..)? And wouldn't you think that the admissions panel probably read my application by then?
