I plan on increasing my sat 200-300 points total, with the help of several books and full time commitment.</p>

<p>Overall, I am very dissapointed in my SAT due to my lack of enthusiasm. But will be retaking in October.

University of Greensboro
University of Georgia</p>

<p>You have good chances although Vanderbilt, Duke, and UVA might be reaches schools.</p>

4

<p>huge reach. i understand.</p>

<p>what is a good sat score to strive for?</p>

5

<p>for UVA if you are out of state at least 300 points</p>

6

<p>Duke-huge huge reach
UNC-huge reach if you don't live in NC
Vandy-huge reach
UVa-reach
wake forrest-reach</p>

<p>bottom line, you need a good 300+ boast on your SATs
and you need to take some SAT 2s to be eligible for some schools</p>
