<p>id say concentrate on improving your math sat score.</p>

<p>I just received my most recent SAT scores. My math score is now a 530 and my writing score is a 680.</p>

4

<p>You can give it a shot, but with 4 Cs in core subjects during your junior year, I’m afraid it’s a very long reach. About 70% of enrolled students were in the top 10% of their HS graduating classes. </p>

<p>Consider some of the schools listed here:
[Colleges</a> That Change Lives | Changing Lives, One Student at a Time](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/]Colleges”>http://www.ctcl.org/)</p>

<p>These are all LACs (like CC) but with one or two exceptions (Reed, maybe Whitman) are less selective than CC. One of them, Cornell College, operates on the Block Plan.</p>

<p>I agree it’s a long shot, but bumping your math SAT into the 500s can only help. Good luck!</p>
