Sat question

So I'm pretty much done taking SAT's and I only have one concern. The first time I took it i got a 730 in CR and then it dropped to a 650 on my second time taking it. However, my math and writing increased from 740 to 750 and 710 to 740 respectively from the first to second test. However my overall score dropped 40 points. I know some colleges review all of your scores instead of considering the highest of each section. Will the drop kill my chances?

What are you applying to? As far as I know, most of the Ivies and comparable level colleges do superscores (MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc), so if you're applying to them, don't worry about it.
