Should I retake the SAT
I got a 1430 on the SAT, I could retake it but the next sitting is on a very important event I don't want to miss. I'm applying to USC and Stanford. I have a 4.0 unweighted, and 4.33 weighted, I took 7 honors, 7 APs, and probably like 5 or 6 college classes, Sage gave me a 28% chance for USC with this score, but I applied early action so I can only get deferred. My essays are pretty strong though. Should I retake it anyways? Should I go test-optional? My chances for Stanford with 1430 is 18% right now.

For Stanford, I know someone with a 1340 who got in. For USC, I know people with a 900, 1340, 1420 2x, 1400, 1410 2x, and 1430. Yes, most people who get in have a score above 1500, but you can still get accepted with a score of 1430. Your GPA is perfect, and you have college classes. I wouldn't repeat it, but for test-optional, you have to choose that for yourself.
