should I retake the SAT?

I am a reapplicant from college and choose not to retake the SAT or ACT. I had similar test scores to the OP with a slightly higher math score. I was admitted to both USCGA and USNA with my highschool standarized test scores and my college transcript.

I understand that the the test scores put everyone on a semi equal playing field; however, upon the advice from admissions and other posters, the academies will put a lot more weight on actual performance at a university.

I am only offering my advice and sharing what I did as a reapplicant. Make sure to weigh all of your options. Maybe try to call the admissions office and see if they want you to retake or not.

SAT and ACT are used to "predict" your success in the freshman year in college (your "readiness" for college academics).

If you've already completed your freshman year, I'm not too sure how the academy uses the SAT score.

Or if they would use it at all.

Don't be so fast to rush out and take the SAT (or ACT) again, I would consult with an admissions officer before doing so, as their advice may be to NOT take it again.

Thanks to both of you! I emailed my admissions officer a couple days ago and he has not responded. Is this typical? I just don't want to be a bother but I do need an answer, even though I'm sure they are busy
 
Travis just understand that you don't transfer to USCGA, you apply for admission and they decide who they want.

Yes I understand that I know it isn't a given that I get in that's why I am working my tail off to build my resume and learn all that I can from this forum :)
