<p>What was your SAT before?</p>

<p>bump!!!</p>

<p>Oh, sorry about that. My SAT wasn’t too great. Somewhere around an 1800. My ACT was 25</p>

<p>But, I’m studying to get better scores. </p>

<p>so you have a 1800 and a 25, don’t expect better scores at this point. All low to high reaches.</p>

<p>InsideOutTwinkie, I think I could increase my scores, due to the fact that I hardly studied to get a 25 and 1800</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

<p>It’s great that you studied, but before even getting your score you shouldn’t assume that you did better. A change of even 100 points is huge.</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice! So, do I have a shot? </p>

<p>Best shot you have is Rutgers
Lehigh and Boston college doubtful
And Columbia and swarthmore probably aren’t even worth your time </p>

<p>Yeah, you’re right about that. Do you think I really have a chance for Boston College?</p>
