[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you everyone for your kind help. As many of you assumed, she applied TO. Would you suggest she retake the SAT so to increase her score and have a better chance at applications (new ones, appealing rejected ones) and scholarships? [/quote]
If she takes a year off, then yes, she should retake the SAT.

Or, she should apply now at colleges where her score is at or above range, if their deadlines are still open. Plenty of schools with deadlines that are still open would not have super high score ranges.

If you are looking for merit money, you need to look at less selective schools where her academic stats - yes, including scores - would be on the high end.[/quote]

This. Though some schools will award merit TO.  Also, a rushed retake probably won't gain much, and I don’t know of any successful appeals after rejections.  TO is ok for many schools if her score is below 25% avg for admitted students. Also,  WPI is test blind, so get that one in if it isn't already. [/quote]
