Worth increasing score?

Hey,

So I’m applying with an (actual) IB score of 41 but my ACT superscore is “only” 32. I’m wondering whether I should take the ACT/SAT again or if it will even make much of a difference? I’m thinking of applying to Stanford REA.

The 25th percentile on the latest common data set for Stanford is 32, not superscored. https://ucomm.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2018/06/stanford-cds-2017.pdf Unless you have some major hook or truly outstanding achievement, I’d save my EA/ED bullet for elsewhere. If you are shooting for Stanford or other highly selectives, again absence any major hook or achievement, I’d shoot for 33/34+, not superscored.
