2. You should retake the SAT IIs. But retake it only once. STUDY MORE.
3. You are absolutely capable of achieving a higher score on these standardized tests. Just crack open and read one of those SAT/ACT review books (e.g. Princeton Review and Kaplan).

If you dont mind me asking...how did you do on the SAT and on the ACT?

Thats a general question open to anyone...how did your SAT score compare to your ACT score?

Dude that question is way too personal plus i already posted my SAT and ACT scores on another one of your posts concerning the colleges you were thinking of applying to.

jkjkjk I got a 1980 on SAT and a 30 on ACT.

I'm currently attending UC Berkeley.

700M/800R/790W

The test doesn't really mean anything. My previous best was a 21XX (can't actually remember for sure) during my sophomore year. I had one meeting with a pricey tutor after that and realized that was bullshit so I just bought the same book he used and worked through most of it.

Plenty of people get tutors to boost their scores up and get them into good schools, but it's not necessary. It also overstates their true capabilities.

But go over and read the Religion/Politics discussions. I am a stupid, sheltered, racist bigot from Georgia that hates all black people etc., because I'm too smart to vote for The Chosen One.

I feel that way all the time...

I go to Brown, which according to a recent poll in my econ class (4-500 people) is around 4% Republican. People here really do think that I am some ignorant retard. It's starting to piss me off

I go to perhaps the most conservative school in the country (truly conservative - not like BYU, Liberty, etc.) and there are still people that voted for him here.
