Worth retaking sat for URI?

Test Preparation

<p>Hi, I’ve taken the sat once so far and scored a 1850 (620 CR 610 M 620 W). I’m an inner city Providence student who goes to a really bad school and I’m wanting to get as much money for the centennial scholarship as I can.</p>

<p>Does a higher sat basically=more money? My goal in this case is to get a 2000 but if I’m better off using that time to put into my personal statement then I’d rather do that.</p>

<p>I checked URI out on bigfuture and only 1% of their applicants get a 700+ on a single section of the sat. If this is the case then if I can get a 700 on a single section would it make me unique enough to give me more money from merits?</p>

<p>Check the scholarship details. If they CAN pay more, they will for higher SAT’s on average. In the larger scope if you are applying for financial aid, it is specifically true that a higher SAT = more money.</p>
