<li> Legacy doesn’t help a lot at all.<br></li>
<li> No. They are all looking for the same thing - exceptional students. They just have a different way of looking for those students.</li>
<li> They do look at both your school and your area.</li>
<li> I think it would be a negative to take it again. A 780 is missing one question. What do you think the admissions would think of you if they saw you retook a 780?</li>

<p>Don’t worry. Focus on the things you can control right now: your essays, your fall classes, maybe take that research paper and apply to Siemens or Intel.</p>
