Recruitment aside - I would encourage my child to retake because universities do look at SAT or ACT scores when deciding on awarding scholarships or use them when deciding to let you in to the Honors program. You could be statistically eliminating yourself from scholarships and some majors, and many academic awards that only go to a student in honors. Some schools are also using ACT scores as part of their decision as to what math classes students are allowed to start in. Depending on what major you choose, adding an additional math class or two that you have to take as prerequisites could add another year onto your degree plan. If you are interested in science, business or engineering, I would encourage you to retake it.
