<p>Hi,
I am very worried more so than ever, allow me explain my current condition
I just got SAT results and got 530 in math and 430 in critical reading.
Not only that but my GPA is not good at all.
Unweighted gpa is around 2.5-2.6.
I have taken many ap classes such as:
ap chemistry, ap physics B, Ap world history, Ap Us history, ap language arts, ap literature, ap Latin.
I will have a good letter of recommendation from my ap latin teacher who is great and has taught me for 4 years.
I will also my try my best to write very good essays.
As for the SAT, my last chance has gone away.
my parents decided i not take it for the 4th time because they feel i will get no where from spending more money.
How are my chances? honestly, please.
And is there any way I can take SAT again? Can i pay up front at school or something if they have an extra test?</p>
<p>I think you know the answer - for the the colleges you listed your scores are way below the mid range. You will have to look at other colleges or improve SAT to 1450+ (CR+M)level.</p>
<p>Oxford is really a community college absorbed by Emory. I would give it a shot. It’s still a hard sell, but you never know. </p>
<p>Make sure your essay is read by someone you trust, is real and from the heart. </p>
<p>If it doesn’t work, I would advise going to a Junior/Community College, do well, and transfer. It’s much easier as a transfer student to those colleges who accept students with less than a AA. It may give you time to acclimate to college and get study skills a boost, w/o the pressure. No shame in either!</p>
<p>Is there any possibilities of taking the ACT? That test might go a little better for you but you need to look at other colleges possibly Georgia Southern, Georgia College and State University or Kennesaw.</p>
<p>Well what did you get on Writing? Do you have any hooks? URM/Athlete etc.? If you’re answer to any of these questions is good I think you have a shot at UGA contingent upon you writing good essays.</p>
<p>thanks for replying,
I’m also looking at GSU.
I know my chances are low but i’m hoping they can consider the work i put into essays and other requirements.
@above, I have a ton of volunteer hours from constant weekly volunteering.
In total i have a few hundred hours.</p>
<p>@xAlex452,
it seems my chances for ACT are gone as well.
