Are my SAT scores sufficient? (not a troll)

You should definitely retake if you’re a junior. If you’re middle to upper class white or Asian, without any bs accomplishments, sob stories etc, that score is barely acceptable at the schools you named. As cheerios pointed out, you’re clearly pretty good at math. You might even get perfect in that section. You could certainly improve in the CR section. It’s also especially possible to study for CR. Just get a review book and look at the lists of vocabulary words. There are lots of strategies. In general, smart people with high scores are closer to the extremes, and there is more error around the extremes, so your scores are going to be more variable than average. The odds that neither math nor CR will improve are quite low and you are allowed to mix the scores if one of them gets worse.
