If I got a 730 and the 91st percentile on SAT Biology E, What do you think I should do?

I've been reading a lot of answers lately about people's SAT scores (Reasoning and Subject) and many people have been suggesting that these people who have been asking about their grades retake the test. I got a 730, 91st percentile, and I took it on June 2, at the end of my Freshman year. My parents tell me not to retake it because they don't want to see me go through all the studying again, but it's really not their decision. What would you do if you got my score and my percentile?

Update:

My dream schools are Top 10 and Ivy League. I've always wanted to get into Cornell since I was younger but I have been recently thinking about Georgetown Law School. I know Biology isn't that important if you want to practice Sport & Entertainment Law, but I do want to seem to be a well-rounded student.

    I would be ecstatic. That is a great score and not just for a freshman for anyone. Don't bother taking it again, chances are you'll get a lower score and it's not worth the time or the hassle. You'll do fine with the score you have.

    NO, don't take it again. You'll just look like a perfectionist and a** kisser. You've got plenty more courses to take and SAT IIs that you could be taking to show that you've gone on learning and aren't obsessing about a freshman course with a score that compared you to seniors who'd taken AP bio.

    Besides, it's your parents money and, if you're headed Ivy, you're going to need it for tuition.

    Wow, congrats on your score! that is absolutely great! I wouldn't take it again but it's your choice...You should research what scores those schools take for admission and then you can decide....I think you did great tho!
