<p>I know my SAT scores aren't up to snuff, but otherwise do you think i could get in?</p>
<p>The problem is that you can’t ignore SAT scores in evaluating odds, because they are a significant part of the picture, and absent a hook, your shot with those scores is below average (though clearly not out of the question).</p>
<p>I think you should consider taking the ACT – some students do much better on that test, and NU will view the two tests as equivalents to each other.</p>
<p>As it stands now --I agree with WCASParent</p>
<p>^^A great suggestion.</p>
<p>I agree with Sureblah. If you are not a URM or lack a similar hook, your SAT makes this a very, very, very low possibility. The good news is if you do better on the ACT (32 or above) or you raise your SAT (M and CR ) into the 1440 range, then you have a reasonable chance ED (depending on your state and other factors). The other good news is that I have seen kids score dramaticly better on the ACT v SAT or raise their SAT scores substantially. If you want to be admitted into any of the top 20 universities, spend most of your time this summer studying for these tests. Yes, studying does work, particularly with some individualized coaching.</p>
