So here is my situation. I have 1210 out of 1600 on my SAT( I took it once), a 3.9 GPA, and only taken one AP class, however, did not take the AP test because I was too scared to take the exam. I graduated in January of 2017, a semester early from my high school. I have admissions from mediocre schools( the University of Utah and University of Buffalo SUNY.) A friend of my suggested that I study for the SAT and perfect my score. Sounds like a good idea. For me to do this, it would mean to wait another whole school year and start college in the fall of 2018 rather than fall of 2017.

My question is should I wait another year and take the SAT all over again. I am 17 and these past years are just a fraction of my life. I am lost.

I have also applied to University of California, Berkley, Los Angeles, Irvine, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. I have also applied to my home state SUNY and CUNY school. SUNY include Buffalo, Binghamton, Stony Brook, and ESF(waitlisted.) I have also applied to UPenn, however, hoping for the best, prepared for the worst.

CC any advice would be the best advice.
