Hi all,

I’m a Junior in high school and I got a 35 on the ACT last December. I am happy with my score, and I will be taking the test again in April as it is mandatory at my high school. Is it worth taking the SAT to improve my chances at the schools I am looking at? I plan on taking two SAT subject tests, but I don’t really want to take the SAT. However, my dad thinks I should. Here are some of the schools I am looking at:

U of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (Illinois Resident)
Stanford - 1st Choice
MIT
UC Berkeley
UT Austin
UW Seattle?
Cornell
Northwestern

Thanks!
