A couple questions

My problem is that I’m not “Ivy League” when it comes to standardized tests. I’m too analytical. I agree with both Dr. Avrah and May; it wouldn’t look good to take the test 10+ times, but at the same time I don’t want to be disqualified just because of my SAT scores. I have very strong ECs and awards (concert pianist) with top, personal recommendations and original thinking capabilities. As long as I can get in the median SAT score for the Ivy schools (~2100), then I can’t be thrown out because of it, which is what I’m worried about. Max I would ever consider taking the test is 4 or 5 times.

I have a 1240/1910 and it was my second time. I don’t do too well on the math because I haven’t technically taken geometry yet, so I’m currently doing an independent study afterschool with a teacher. I’m hoping for atleast 1400/2100. I’m not taking the test again in May; instead, I’m taking the US Hist. SAT II. I’m going to study over the summer and take it in the fall.
