Above a 2100, your scores wont make a difference. At that point, most colleges stop differentiating. I only took the SAT once, got a 2260 (M: 760, W: 750, CR: 750), and got into Stanford early. Schools don’t read your SAT essay–they have plenty of others from your application. If I were you, I wouldn’t bother taking it again. Instead focus on grades and extra-curriculars! Schools will be more impressed by lots of leadership positions than they will be by another high SAT score.
