Retake SAT?

<p>I’m an Asian dude in Sweden (has lived here almost all my life) and took the Oct 6 SAT (first time test taker). I’m on my senior year and is planning to study at a good university in US.</p>

<p>My SAT scores for (M, CR, W) are (800, 760, 700).
I didn’t practice much at all for the Essay, so I probably flunked it, thus my low W score…</p>

<p>I have very good (I dare say) academic record, and good ECs, so I’m just a bit worried that my scores on the Writing section would put me in a bad position if I apply to good colleges.</p>

<p>I could retake it in December, but I don’t think it is worth the trouble (need to take the train to another part of Sweden etc…).
What are your opinions?
Will my 700 writing grade lower my chances significantly?</p>

<p>Colleges know that your native language is not English and therefore pay closer attention to math. Though, the CR and W do matter in your education. Friend of mine got into Columbia with slightly worse scores. You should be just fine.</p>
