<p>I’m not sure about your chances at any of those top tiered schools due to your low SAT score.</p>

<p>Well, thanks for the thoughtful answer jibler. <em>_</em></p>

<p>You do have amazing E.C.'s and strong grades and rank, especially for someone of a family with low income. I’m not sure how much they’ll look past your low(er) (compared to their middle 50%) scores though, unless you apply through QuestBridge, or something.</p>

<p>Jibler:
I’m not familiar with Questbridge!
Yeah I’m really aiming for above a 2100 SAT score this October. My math score is inaccurate because my proctor seriously frigged up the time, leaving me with about 3 pages omitted. On top of that, I’m not strong in math to begin with. :S</p>

6

<p>If you get that 2100, then you’ll definitely have a good shot!</p>

<p>Deadlines for QuestBridge might have passed (I really have no idea, though), but you should look into it. It could potentially help.</p>

<p>Deadline is September 27th. Wow, it looks great, thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>Better start working on it ASAP then! Good luck!</p>
