Deferred - SAT II Improved scores, Improved chances?

For my ED App, I had a 1550 SAT 4.0 and great ECs, I got deferred, and I consider myself lucky I was not rejected with my SAT II scores.

Chem - 610
Math II - 680
Lit - 710

I thought I could do better, so I retook them and got

Math II - 800
World History - 760

My average SAT II score went up 90 points, is this enough of an improvment for the admissions staff to notice?

I'm no expert, but I think, they'll definitely notice! The Math IIC, especially, because 800 is an "average" score for applicants, while 680 is far below average.

However, a simple score increase probably isn't going to change much...

I hope that’s 1550 without the writing. If that’s the case, definitely take the new SAT.
