I am currently a student at University of Wyoming and am planning to transfer. Some of the schools I am planning to transfer to require an SAT score; a lot of them prefer a very high SAT score. The problem is my SAT is unimpressive 1170 overall. I was wondering if I should retake it?

For reference one of the schools I am Thinking of planning to apply a transfer to is Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt wants a SAT score of 1505 or some number beyond my score. So, should I retake an SAT or take the ACT or should I consider other universities for transfer?
