I’m not sure about Cooper Union, but I know that top schools (e.g. MIT) want you to have both a math/science SAT subject test and one that isn’t. If you decide to retake your subject tests, consider taking a third if you feel you could do well. That will make you more competive among a sea of Math/Physics scores. Again, that may not representative of Cooper Union.

Also, nearly all of the top schools I know of, “techy” or not, will take your composite score (superscore) for your SAT. It is best to ask and make sure of it though. For schools that do, your 2220 isn’t amazing but definitely competitive, as are your SAT subject tests, so you can go either way. For schools that only take a single score, retake the SAT.
