Should I retake the SAT? Top BB IBD analyst

WSO,

With a background like mine — 3.8+ GPA, top BB IBD, non-target state school — is it worth it to take the SAT for purposes of PE recruitment?

In high school, I did not intend to pursue higher education. Neither did I participate in ACT/SAT preparatory courses nor did I take the test seriously. My school required each student to take the ACT, and I scored a 26, which is equivalent to that of a 1240 to 1270 on the SAT. Although, I am confident now that with considerable preparation, I can score above 1450.

So WSO, should I take the SAT?
