Ok so I have gotten conflicting ideas from my teacher and the school college counsler. I took the SAT for the second time and got scores of
M 750
R 680
W 620 (9)

These were all my best scores as the last time I got 740 in M, 620 in R, and 600 in W. However I know for a fact I can do better on Writing (I have taken numerous practice tests and always seem to score 690) and while I think I can do better on the other two I am happy with those scores. However, I also need to retake the SAT II’s as I got only a 620 on US History and 660 on Math Level 2.

My schools:
Claremont Mckenna (math, reading only)
Occidental
USC
University of Washinton Honors
Northwestern (math, reading only)
Wesleyan (the only one that says they look at the SAT II’s)
Colgate (math, reading only I think)

My school’s college counsler thinks writing doesn’t matter as much and even if schools say they do not look at SAT II’s they still do. My teacher who is very much involved think that schools don’t even care about the SAT II’s and I have nothing to lose if I take the november SAT reasoning.

Which one should I take??? Thanks for all the help!
