<p>HS Junior
SAT: CR 720; M 660; W 640 (essay 7)
SATII World: 690
SATII Biology: 620
Intended schools:<br>
* Boston U
* Cal Tech
* Cornell U
* MIT
* Rensselaer Polytec I
* Stanford U
* SUNY Buffalo
* Syracuse U
* U Calif Los Angeles
Intended major: Aerospace Engineering
Extracurriculars: I’m the most involved person in my grade. Not cocky, just honest.</p>

<p>It’s early enough in the year to retake all (except biology, just don’t want to take it). Should I retake WH to try to get over 700 and retake SAT to try to get over 1450(currently at 1380)? Or just call it a day and save my money, and focus on extracurriculars and school?</p>

<p>For MIT, Caltech, and Cornell, I suggest that you seriously increase your M score to at least a 750.</p>

<p>CR is fine for those schools, but try to also increase your W score.</p>

<p>If you know that your score can not increase, focus on your essays, GPA, and extracurricular activities.</p>
