Answer 1

Yes please do take the SAT again.  You can take the SAT up to 3 times before you apply.  And college like to see you improve!  Do your best. Take more SAT before you apply to college!!! Some colleges take the highest writing, reading, and math scores you get out of all the SAT tests you take and add them up to your advantage so that's always good for you!  

Try to get it around 2100 for Johns Hopkins and 2200 for UChicago (hard one you need a science and history teacher rec).  You're almost there!

Do not let a score prevent you from applying to your dream colleges!

Volunteer activities, leadership, overall GPA, your ESSAY, and interview (if you have one with a college rep) all add up to influence the college decision. This is not to say that a perfect SAT school will get you everywhere. That is so not true! A couple of my friends got perfect SAT and ACT scores and ended up getting rejected from some good universities that were not even IV's!

It really depends on your current grade level. Judging from what you're saying, I will assume that you didn't graduate from highschool this year. If this is the case then you still have time to bring that up:

- Do tons of practice problems and practice practice practice on those ESSAYS! they count for 180 pts of the overall score!  Writing was the easiest part of the SAT for me because all you have to do is to learn to spot those grammar errors!

- Maybe consider taking one of those SAT prep classes? Some have some really great tips to bring up your scores.

- Maybe consider taking the ACT. I had a friend who didn't do so well on the SAT and ended up doing really great on the ACT and colleges like that!

Good Luck!
