Just a couple notes to the original poster about improving his chances of getting in.

First off, you mentioned that you’re thinking about retaking your SAT Is before the application period. While there’s no reason to discourage you from working on higher SAT Math or English scores, they are much less important than other components of the application. According to our information sessions, we disregard the Writing (not the English) portion of the SAT. The application essays, class transcript, and teacher recommendations are also more important than SAT scores when considering a student’s application.

Hope these considerations are helpful–
