I am also done. 2,240 I got 700M, 800 Crit Read., and 740 Writ (73 subscore and 10 essay). This is a 1,500 in just Math and Verbal; also 740 is not a bad writing score. I would have to work my butt off to bring up Math. At this point, I am going to concentrate on AP Chem and several SAT II’s. You have to prioritize your time. Someone else e-mailed me and gave me this great advice. I thnk he was from California and he also had 2,240. To scrouge for a few more points is not going to make the difference in college admissions. They said rule of thumb is over 2,250 don’t retake. Also, I am 10 points from that so am hoping an 800 in Crit Rdg. will make that small difference. I am going to concentrate on SAT II’s. I am convinced that I will get admission to one of the Ivies at least. Which one is in God’s hands, not mine. I am done worrying about it. DONE WITH SAT 1’s!!! I also saw some admission statistics that said of the 17,000 applicants to Harvard, only about 3,000+ had 800’s in Verbal so although there is a proliferation of people on this website with 2,300+, I really don’t think there are that many people with 800’s applying to all of these schools, so time to move on to my EC’s and recommendations etc.
