Should I retake a 1550 SAT as a recruited athlete?
I'm Class of 2026 and one of the top students at my East Coast prep school.
I have a 1550 SAT.
I'm a recruited athlete at Harvard, and my last name is Eliot.
My ECs include using mRNA technology to develop vaccines for COVID and raising $150,000 for the eradication of AIDS in Africa.
My counselor at Choate says that my profile is sufficient for Harvard, but I'm still worried because I have peers with perfect SAT scores who have ended hunger in developing nations.
My biggest worry with the SAT is that my splits are 800 Math and 750 EBRW.
I'm a biochem major if that counts for anything.
If I grind Khan Academy I think I can raise the EBRW to at least 780.
I'm still afraid I won't pass my Harvard pre-read this summer.
