<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I’m currently a student in New Zealand intending to apply to HYPSMC. </p>
<p>My current ACT Score after 1 take (only 2 opportunities per year here in Oct and April) is:
35 Composite
36 Maths
35 English (8 Essay)
35 Science
32 Reading
31 Writing/English Subscore :(</p>
<p>My current SAT1 Superscored after 3 takes (improved significantly after the last one) is:
2220 Total
790 Maths
760 Writing (10 Essay)
670 Reading</p>
<p>I’m using the December SAT’s to retake my subject tests but currently I’m unsure about whether to retake my SAT1 in January.</p>
<p>I have a few major concerns mainly because I am an international student and I don’t exactly know how things work in USA. Do those top universities to be of that much importance as SAT. Would it be a good idea to completely not submit my SAT even though my scaled writing/english is quite disappointing. Should I take the January SAT focusing exclusively on the Reading section?</p>
<p>I think the rest of my application is quite good because I have 39-40/42 IB, an International Maths Olympiad Silver Medal, various national running awards and I am highly involved with leadership positions in other ECs such as Debating, MUN, Tennis, Maths Club etc</p>
<p>I still need to write all of my application Essays but I feel confident that I can write them well and I am quite sociable so I think my interviews will also go well.</p>
<p>I am only worried about this SAT as I have seen many others with SAT’s higher than this get rejected.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>
