I’m thinking posters here are missing something in this analysis. OP has been offered a full tuition scholarship to Pitt. When D and I were there this summer, we were told that an applicant would need CR/M of 1450 to even be considered for merit, and then they might get $1500 or so. Maybe. Don’t even bother if you aren’t in that group.

Now, OP has a CR/M score of 1380 and has netted an early spotting of full tuition. Clearly, he has something that schools are anxious to acquire. One should hardly discourage him from applying to the elite schools when it seems like he has a much better chance than many are giving him.

Op, since it doesn’t seem to be your SAT score that interests them, I would not trouble myself all that much about taking it again, only if I really had the time and inclination.
