Retake a 177? Forum

[ivankasta]

Just got my 177 Sept score. I have a 3.73 uGPA so I'll be a splitter at the top schools.

177 is on the lower end of my PTs since I averaged 178 over the last 15 and scored 180 on 3 of my last 5 PTs. Should I cancel my December test or shoot for the 178,179,180?

Does Harvard care if I have a 179 instead of a 177? Or should I just focus on keeping my GPA up and improving softs?

Keep your GPA up and improve softs. Congrats.

People are going to yell at you and/or tell you that you'll fit right in at Harvard

Retaking (regardless of outcome) will make you look to admissions how you look to us: like the nozzle end of a douchebag.

ArtistofManliness put it bluntly, but I agree: retaking is all downside in the OP's situation.

Haha understood. Thanks for the help everyone, I'll cancel my December take.

Do douchebags have actual nozzles? Serious and important question.

How else do you get the douche out of the bag?
