Honestly I don’t think you should retake the SAT, because 2320 is very very good for Northwestern already. 720 for a Maths is not too weak, especially when you have school grades and APs to back up. If you retake it and still not get an 800 (bouncing from 720 to 750s won’t do), you’re not going to look good. NU will definitely rather see you do it in one-seating than two, especially when the difference is not that big really.

NU doesn’t require students to take two SAT II unless you’re applying to a specific school that asks for it…?

Given that you hadn’t gotten your ACT score back, perhaps you should wait. Sending in this SAT score will be more than enough already.
