Retaking the SAT

<p>So I’ve just completed my sophomore year at Mount Holyoke College. I earned a 4.0 last semester, and have a 3.848 cumulative GPA. I only took the SAT once and got a 1440 (730V, 710M), and I also took three SAT IIs (720 Math IIC, 760 Writing, 670 English LIt). At this point in my education, I wonder why I keep getting rejected from schools and the only thing I can think of is my weak standardized test scores (perhaps recs, but I have no idea what my profs write, although I trust them since these are profs I know very well, both personally and professionally), but do they really matter since I’ve gone through two years? Would it be worth it to retake them?</p>

<p>I don’t think it is your test scores. I wouldn’t retake them. I would look at your essays, get your professors to look at them. Check them and then re-check them, sit on them a while, go back and critical read them. Ecs? </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>its definitely not your grades. what schools did you apply to and what did you write in your essays?</p>
