Should I retake the SATs?

Hello
I have taken my SAT1 and SAT2s and am planning to apply to harvard (international applicant from Lebanon)
My scores are:
SAT1: CrR 670
Math 790
Writing 730
SAT2: Math level 2: 800
French Reading: 790
Physics: 740
Do you think I should retake anything? I can still take a December and a January test. But is it worth it?

I'd say it would be worth it if you can increase your reading score (obviously everything else is great!). Do you have some time to study, maybe over break? I would cram vocab as hard as I could and do a LOT of reading practice before retaking. If you take a bunch of practice tests and your scores don't improve, then you can always cancel it and not retake it.

Your scores are pretty solid. If you feel prepared, you should probably take another since harvard is a pretty high reach. But if you have good EC's and GPA I think you'll be fine without another test.
