<p>I’m not sure that it will be possible to retake the SAT since the last one before most application deadlines is Nov. 2.</p>
<p>With that said, I wouldn’t retake it anyway. No matter how good at math, there’s a reasonable chance that the student won’t get an 800. ONE missed question knocked my son down to a 760. It was a simple mistake. Long gone are the days where you could miss several and get an 800. The schools know this. They don’t split hairs too hard above 700.</p>
<p>Also, I wasn’t suggesting that her GPA was anything but great. I was only looking in the context of hoping for $100k or so in merit aid. It is what it is. Put the app out and see what happens. Make sure she’s happy with all of her options.</p>
