how many times did you take SAT I ? if you took it twice, and really think you can do better, then take it one more time, but if you took it more than that, I don't think it would be a very good idea because you'd have already reached your limit.

Actually, for SAT I, only my writing score is bad (690, 8 ).
Although I can do better, I might not have much time to study (school is really piling up).

@714nD1
Where am I aspiring? MIT, Stanford obviously, but I really want to go to CMU. (CS). UT Austin is my safety. Those are the big ones in my list, obviously I have many more colleges on the list.

rama_GB take it easy a 690 writing score wont hurt you anywhere! A 2200 on SAT is wonderful! And 800s on three SAT IIs are a deal! Just chill mate
I really dont think there is any need to retake you SAT, unless you really want to.

Btw are you self funded?

Yes, I am funded for a reasonable amount by myself.

Besides, with my dad's salary, I won't qualify for much aid. He works in the US, so don't try the converting money trick. Won't work.

Ok then, I will chill. I really didn't want to retake anyway...

No I mean with those scores and you being self funded, you have advantage over us at getting in at most colleges

It's summer... maybe she's not at home for a couple of weeks?

I think she disappeared after the thread's temporary death.

there's a thread called Arabs in the int'l forum, that died after only two members left. Can you guess why it died? Well. because it had only three active members, myself included!
