<p>I don't think your scores are nearly as bad as you think they are. If you retake them and get over a 600, I'd say you're in very good shape. I had a friend last year with a ~550 in math who was accepted at Midd and Bowdoin. I think you're in good shape:-)</p>

<p>Keep in mind, I'm also a desperate, naive senior and no admissions officer.</p>
