Taking my SAT's twice

You know, you could just circumvent this entire problem by studying really hard and getting a 2170 the first time… : )
2 times shouldn’t be too big of a deal. it’s when you start taking it 3, 4, or even 5 times that a red flag goes up. I had a URM friend who made almost all A’s, did lots of community service, and was very involved in kendo, who got rejected EA. His problem? He took the SAT reasoning test 5 TIMES. 5 freaking times. So don’t do that. Stanford doesn’t want people who are overly concerned with standardized testing.
But, like I said, 2 times should be okay. Just don’t bomb the SAT. They won’t like it if they see that you got something like a 1900 the first time. What is your definition of “bombing” the test?
