I’ve never heard of somewhere accepting the SAT only, I have been asked to submit proof of my test scores a few times but places were always fine with either SAT or ACT (sometimes GMAT as well, although I don’t think it’s as respected). 
 

If you don’t have any test scores (went to a new age-y college or something), it might be a slight negative (places might think you’re hiding a bad score or something), but that’s really on the margin - I don’t think most would care, a lot don’t even ask

 

A standardized test will always matter for these positions if you are from a non-target. Otherwise, a 3.7+ from an ivy or ivy equivalent everyone assumes you got a solid score.

Just something to note for the non-targets—few things get me to vouch for a candidate stronger than a perfect/ near perfect standardized test and a state/ non-target school. It generally to me says, “this kid had no money and grinded his ass off to get to where he is”. Otherwise, I find it very hard to justify selecting a generic state school 4.0 guy over the generic top ten school guy. 

 

Senior with a 4.0 at a target but 1200s SAT, yeah lucky to get in.

Should I take the sat again?

 

No… it doesn’t matter nearly as much as people pretend it does here, unless you’re going for MF
