apply the first day apps come out to the entire T-14... weigh your options.. then choose

Edit: If I were you I wouldn't retake.. but if you scored higher it would definitely help solidify money

If you feel like retaking + think you can do better, you can probably land a better school/more $

If you don't, you're probably in at several T14 anyways

Thanks I think I'm going to spend summer trying to improve score to get more money.

Ah another 4 months to look forward to .

As an AA male, you will get multiple T14s, but if you are PT'ing at least 4 points higher, I would think a retake is in order.
