<p>Your SAT is low, if you can improve that, you are set.</p>

<p>Ha. It's true, my kids won't be impressed when I tell them that they have to work hard on their SATs when they ask how I did. But guys, SAT scores aren't everything, in fact, they mean less than almost any other aspect of your application, excepting the interview. This applies more for elite schools, because everyone generally has a good SAT score.</p>
