<p>It might be a slight reach, but I think you still stand a very solid chance.</p>

3

<p>See if you can improve your verbal score, but I think it's a match/slight reach.</p>

4

<p>I'd say reach unless you're able to increase that verbal score to high 600's / 700's. If you're able to do that, I'd call it a slight reach/match. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Yeah I'm taking the SAT's once or twice more and I definitely plan on getting my verbal up. Thanks everyone.</p>
