ejty aer you reaketatlkij an 150slwio0?

Excuse me...

Why are you retaking a 1500?

You're still a lottery ticket for Yale and JHopkins with or without it. However, you've got a shot (as does everyone else on these boards).

You are a strong candidate and your list of schools is appropriate. Do not leave off chess club. Your list is good. You have several long term committments and achievements in those areas, plus nice balance/variation. Personally, I see NO reason to retake your SATs but that is your choice. Good luck!

I disagree about the Latin - it's unusual, especially the honors award. Also, I'd include the Chess Club and mention that you are co-founder.
