Hi,

I’m wondering if I should retake the SAT again… I’ve taken it twice so far.

March 2011

R: 780
M: 760
W: 650
Overall: 2190

May 2011

R: 700 (-80 from March)
M: 760 (-0)
W: 700 (+50)
Overall: 2140

June 2011

SAT IIs

US Hist: 800
Math II: 770
Chemistry: 780

So this puts my superscore at 2240… but I’d like to get my math score up a little bit considering it stayed the exact same across the two tests. I also think I could get my Math II score up to an 800 with a bit of studying but don’t know if its worth the money / hassle.

I’m actually on a college tour right now (in New Haven, CT at the moment…) and after listening to the college reps talk at 3 schools so far (Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT) it seems like as long as you’re up around 700-750+ you’re in good shape, but I know its important to put best foot forward on application.

As to where I am going to apply:

Looking at… HYPS, UF, UMich, possibly Penn, Duke, Emory

Thanks in advance ^_^
