Well I think no matter how good your GPA/ECs are, it’s to your benefit to retake the test to see if you can get a higher score. This all of course depends on whether or not you think you can get a score which has improved enough to be worth the effort. I wouldn’t drive myself crazy with SAT studying as you have to keep your GPA up as well. But if you can devote time to studying, and believe you can improve, I think it’s to your benefit. Some of the schools you’ve listed are clearly looking for higher scores. Now SAT scores aren’t the be-all and end-all. You may get in with that score, but if you can strengthen the application so that you’re within their desired score range, you’re in a better position.
