Should I retake the SAT?

Your schools didn’t post, but WHY are you retaking with a 34 on the ACT? You absolutely run the risk of getting a worse score, as apparently 40% of high scorers do. You will have to send Yale ALL test scores, and your 34 is much better than SAT 1470. And you have taken it twice. So now you have three tests to send Yale, two of which are not as good as the one ACT. If I were adcoms at Yale, and saw three tests scores, one of which was already stellar, I would be underwhelmed and think you were obsessively striving for perfection. Yale doesn’t want perfection. Just stop.

P.S. There is no ACT this August.
