<p>I am not good with chances questions, but have you tried taking the ACT? You might do better on a different test. The SAT's appear to be the only thing that drag you down, but the GWU data I see show that 20% of their admitted students are in the 500-599 range on SAT's, so it is not impossible.</p>

<p>Yes, seriously consider the ACT because my SATs were not so good either (M/R) but then the first time I took the ACT, it was amazing! Do it!</p>
