Between zero (if you dont apply) and 100%. See my posts about how the boards work, going with a strong file vs 1st board, and how not to try and “chance me” because it’ll drive you bonkers.
Student- low SAT but good grades
Athlete-1 sport letter winner, 2+ is better
Leader-1 sport captain, not much else. I’d highlight your lifeguarding in interview and essays (in case they are read)- it shows responsibility

Thanks for the help! I’ll be sure to check out your posts.

Definitely retake! You have lots of time to study and improve your score. Every point counts. I tried to convince my DS that even a modest improvement in your score could be worth upwards of $200,000. You can do it. Also consider trying the ACT...although, with a good score already on the SAT I might just focus on that test and try to improve, especially since you can super score. Also, check your schools to see if they offer incentives for certain scores and then shoot for that (and above). My DS missed out on free room and board from the school by 2 points on the ACT.

Thanks for the feedback! What score should I shoot for that stands out among applicants?

1600 stands out. 1500+ stands out. Average is around 1300-1350. Its one piece of a large puzzle.
