<p>Can’t you still retake the SAT in October?</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to retake anything really. You can apply to stanford early and still all those other schools regular since the early policy at Stanford is not binding.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are comparatively low in the pool of SCEA applicants.</p>
