<p>Your sat scores are going to make it challenging.</p>

<p>Sorry man, but your test scores are really low - It’s a stretch.</p>

<p>Among my nova friends, the lowest SAT score was around an 1800 so a 1680 is pretty darn low. The avg is usually around 2000 or so, but it varies significantly depending on what you’re applying for. Pres scholars and BS/MD kids generally have significantly higher scores than students applying for other programs.</p>
