As a URM, is it “worth it” to prepare very well for the SAT’s, perhaps hire a tutor with some money one has worked for, and rock the SAT or will adcoms see that as a place where AA does not apply given the high SAT score (even if my PS is all about the disadvantages posed as being a URM)?

And what about colleges (Amherst) that do not require the SAT’s?
