Well, I was wondering if I should retake my tests with these scores. I want to get into a competitive engineering college, so, let's see what we think.

SAT:
1810 Total.
720 Math
570 Critical
520 Writing

ACT:
32 Composite
36 Math
33 Science
27 English
31 Reading

SATII:
800 Math Level II (No, I don't want to retake that.)
530 Physics.

Is it worth it to retake any of those, besides my SATII Physics?

First of all: way to go!!! Those are very competitive scores; the question now is not whether you'll get accepted, but how much financial support will you receive based on your scores. You definitely need to consider re-taking the physics test if you can review a few key concepts. You should also look into re-taking the ACT, since it was "nicer" to you, to raise your English score and pick up a few more points on Science/Reading. I do NOT recommend re-taking the SATI unless you know one of your target schools does not accept the ACT. Consider getting a little help with your ACT either from a book, or a private tutor. Good luck and, once again, congratulations!

You definetly have the academic credentials for those faculties, although in addition they placed a fabulous style of emphasis on extracurricular activities, management and volunteering. So volunteer greater, I recommened a minimum of 6 hours a week, and attempt to get elected for some management function at your college or set up a community provider undertaking to illustrate your management. yet another stradegy is once you're utilising to those faculties, placed a uncommon capacity substantial on your utility that purely some people at that college p.c.. after which you would be able to alter it later. One lady from my college have been given into MIT final year no longer unavoidably bc of her grades and attempt rankings, yet with the aid of fact she used this uncommon substantial approach and picked psychology, and of direction that made her stick out from different MIT applicants considering maximum of them picked a technological know-how or a math appropriate substantial. So basically, volunteer greater, prepare you have management capacity, and artwork the gadget. Letters of advice and essays additionally play a considered necessary element interior the admission technique to right faculties.
