<p>I know my SAT is low and it really bothers me because I work my butt off, but I just can't score great on that test
WHAT DO MY CHANCES LOOK LIKE?</p>
<p>Your SAT score is terrible but your GPA and class rank are really good so I would say you have an ok chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Try taking the ACT? I know I personally struggled with the SAT but did a lot better with the ACT. They are two completely different tests. The SAT mostly tests reasoning and critical thinking while the ACT is like a high school test and just tests you on what you should know from your classes. Other than that, just practice practice practice! Go to your local library and check out every book you can find on the tests and just keep practicing. </p>
<p>For the SAT you would need to get up to at least a 580 on each section to have a really good chance of getting in (preferably 610 or so). For the ACT, you want to aim for a score of 28 (out of 36)</p>
<p>Thanks Pierre! Any other comments?</p>
<p>not especially, just keep your grades up! Good luck with the college application process! (feel free to let me know if you have any more questions about Clemson)</p>
