<p>I’ve taken it 3 times so I’m hesitant to take the SAT a 4th. What do you think?</p>

<p>RD apps are due at the end of December so if you do get that likely letter, you can not bother doing the other apps. </p>

<p>I think 4 times is a bit much unless you can guarantee a big jump in scores.</p>

<p>whoknows: I didn’t realize you had taken it more than once; in that case, I agree with zantedeschia. I wouldn’t take it again. And I’d forgotten all those dates–when RD applications were due. In that case, yeah, I’m pretty sure the Carolina’s ‘likely letter’ is sent before January 1–sometime in December, I <em>think.</em></p>

<p>Not everyone receives a likely letter that is going to get accepted. Of course if she receives one then she doesn’t need to send other applications.</p>

<p>Duke offers a lot of merit aid/financial aid to in-state applicants.</p>
