Hello,

I just got my SAT score. It was 2320. I got 800 CR and 800 Writing with 12 essay. My math was 720. This was uncharacteristically weak, as i got 800s or missed at most one in math in practice tests. So by retaking, i should be able to get super score or single setting of 2380+, as I think that is more to my ability. However two SAT II is also recommended, and I only have one SAT II in world history (760). Thus, this November, should I take SAT II’s (Math II, Physics, US History, maybe retake World History). Also, My grades are a bit weaker than what is normally expected at northwestern. However, I have had pretty strong course rigor and go too a tough STEM school. My AP scores are also very high, as I have also self studied many exams and have double digit scores of 5. My ECs are also pretty solid. Considering this, is worth while to retake the SAT? I also took an ACT and have not gotten score. Also, I am applying for history major. I have national awards in this area and also have strong AP scores: 5s in USH, WH, EURO, ART HIST, along with Human geo, macro, micro, psych, Ap Calc AB, and AP lang.

tldr; send 2380+ SAT, 760 World History, 35ish+ ACT or 35ish+ ACT, 2320 SAT, and multiple subject tests?
