<p>I am trying to major in Financial Engineering and would like to go to NYU or Cooper Union. My first SAT I got a 1860 (720 M, 610 R, 540 W) and on the June SAT, I got a 2040 (800 M, 640 R, 600 W). Should I retake the SAT again to try to get a 2100+ or is a 2040 good enough to get into NYU, Cooper Union, or any other top Engineering school.</p>
<p>I think even if it was good enough, I would retake it if you think you can improve greatly. You never know what might get you rejected and having a higher SAT score can never hurt. You dont want to just sit back and be content and then when admissions come around, worry that your rejection was because your SAT score was mediocre. If you’re looking for a top engineering school or NYU, you definitely need to bring your SAT score up, especially your critical reading. Writing is important and easy to fix but not as important as critical reading.</p>
