<p>You are not stupid at all. However, the top colleges are very competitive to get into. All the schools you listed are reaches. You should expand your choices.
I would spend some time thinking about what you want to study and what college fits you. Look at the college search engine. Some good ideas are : Sewannee, Auburn, Wofford. UGA and Furman are possibilities and admission is getting more competitive but you have a shot at them. Clemson, College of Charleston, Emory Oxford College?
The “chance me” is hard because even those with perfect scores are not guaranteed. Better to have a range of choices of schools that have what you want.
I am not sure some schools are concerned with how many times you take the SAT. Try the ACT as well.
All EC’s that reflect your interests are worthwhile and helping with children with autism is a great thing. If you could expand on that- perhaps helping with Special Olympics or another activity? Do you have an interest in sound engineering? Expand on that too.</p>

<p>Taking the SAT five times would look very bad! Colleges frown on multiple test taking, when clearly there are other things you should be doing to prepare yourself for college. As stated above, try the ACT</p>

<p>take a look at Clemson! Let me know if you have any questions.</p>

<p>swingtime, I graduated high school before the changes but can’t you pick which SAT test scores to send now?</p>

<p>Pierre. It depends upon the school. Some schools still require that you send in all of your scores. Really, it begins to look totally counterproductive to keep on taking a test, particularly if there is no significant score boost. It looks like an applicant cannot prioritize, allocate time wisely, or make smart decisions. At some point it begins to looks obsessive and that is NOT a good thing. If you really study, sure, take it a second or third time. MAX! But if you don’t and just keep on taking a test hoping for a miraculous score boost, well…you look rather foolish.</p>
