<p>I know that score is low. Its bothering me so much. But, I feel like the rest of my application might make up for it. I just want to hear what people here have to say and any tips/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>-I am a Venezuelan first generation female from FL.
-I am in the IB program at a magnet school and have taken the most rigorous classes offered there. (7 AP classes in total, have passed all of them except for Euro and World History)
-I am top 15% of my class of 800 and my gpa is 5.3 Weighted/ 3.4 Unweighted.
-I played club and varsity soccer since 9th grade
-I have 250+ community service hours.
-I am a member of 4 Honors Societies at my school and am the Secretary of one of them.
-My IB coordinator and IB counselor will be writing my recommendation letters and I believe they'll be great.
-I am a Posse Semi-finalist (awaiting notification for the Finalist round) and an AP scholar.</p>

<p>Could you please give me some insight regarding my chances? I plan to apply early action. I am also considering Emerson College in Boston. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted with an SAT like that but she also had a 28 ACT. Did you take that? She applied regular decision. Apply and see what happens. </p>

<p>Also, have you visited? My d was interested in Emerson initially but didn’t like that it didn’t have a “campus”. Plus she changed her mind about her major from Communications to Psychology so that worked out well. She loves Fordham.</p>

<p>Ah :confused: my ACT is low as well, I got a 25. Should I just retake the SAT in December and try to get a higher score and then apply regular decision?
Or will it be harder to get in then?</p>

<p>Did your daughter end up applying to emerson? </p>

<p>Do you think I could get in there?</p>

<p>I would retake the SAT.</p>

<p>You may want to consider studying the writing section. Of the three sections of the SAT, the writing section yields the greatest ratio of improvement over hours spent studying.</p>
