<p>would i get a special consideration if my brother in law works at the foundation?
n if not what are my chances?
i am getting 32 in my IB
got 540 in CR , 650 in Maths , and 710 in Writing.
i played rugby at a highest level and also rowed and came 3 rd in national championship.</p>
<p>You wont get an special consideration. Dont send in your SAT scores, they are too low. Have you tried ACT? Unfortunately your chances are kinda low :(</p>
<p>alritey 
i am sitting 4 october one as well so hopefully i will get a better result thx anyway</p>
<p>You accidentally posted on the wrong thread…this thread was for kids admitted to the class of 2012 a couple three years ago.</p>
<p>However, you should be reading the threads on recruited athletes. If you want to up your chances at getting a great education, you could play rugby or row for one of America’s fine liberal arts educations which arguably have better classroom instruction. Some of those colleges are quite “sporty”…and they might consider you if you are Varsity material and if you want to pursue excellence in one sport. Davidson has strong sports, Bowdoin/Colby come to mind although your test scores are below their mean as well. Colleges that do not get equal amounts of male applicants and want to strengthen the male applicant pool and their sports teams that are excellent places to learn with strong faculties include my alma mater Furman and many others in the south and in other regions…Furman grads tend to have outstanding outcomes in grad school and in the work place if the community feels right to you. A lot of this is a gut feeling. </p>
<p>You should be asking yourself “where can I learn the most and find a viable career path for a paycheck” and where will my heart feel lifted so I can play my best game in college classrooms and on the field. </p>
<p>Your test scores are low for Vandy but they aren’t bad test scores! Don’t get psyched out…instead be shrewd about your reach and match colleges. I agree that the ACT is your next move but you will do much much better if you do the practice exams in the Red Book before high school starts. It is really up to you if you want to improve your test scores. A 650 in math to me shows ability and you could probably improve it. My eldest son gained 200 points October of his senior year and ended up at Duke after basically not prepping for tests before. That is a complete freak outcome but he had good SAT Subject test scores junior year so it was not completely a shock. </p>
<p>There are at least 20 great schools I can think of that would be interested in you. Question is who where when why on your end…what do you want? What can your parents afford? If you are recruited athlete material, you have a lot more to do to make use of that asset, speaking as a Mom of two young men who did not have your talent there. People grow at different rates. You are not today’s test score. But if you want entry to certain colleges, you should spend a couple weeks and seriously look into the ACT</p>
