1350~ SAT, should I retake it for PE?

International monkey at a target who got in with around 1350 SAT. I have a solid GPA and experience and I was wondering if I had to retake SAT for PE recruiting?

I think you have to ask yourself if you reasonably think that you could score better. To me, a 1350, while a great score and will get you into some decent scores will not stand out among PE applicants. It also comes down to your ultimate goals and which firms you are looking at. Look at the people who are at the firms you're interested in.... look at where they went to school and you should have a good idea of the SAT scores they had just based on mean UG acceptance scores. If you think your 1350 stacks up then keep it, but my guess is that to be more competitive you probably would want it to achieve a higher score.

 

Thanks for your reply I guess my real question is does sat really matter? I'm International so my English was stupid low...
