Should I Retake The SAT?

I agree with lindagaf…I wouldn’t retake the test unless prepping in a different way than you have in the past, nor would I submit that score to schools where it is below the 25%ile score of admitted students (use matriculated if you can’t find admitted data).

Between the 25%ile and 50%ile is a gray area…but really ask yourself if that score strengthens your app. My sense is that it probably doesn’t (talking about highly selective schools).

Lastly, make sure you have a balanced college list, with several reaches, a handful of matches, and at least one affordable safety. Run net price calculators at all the schools on your list to make sure they are affordable.

Good luck.
