<p>I plan on taking the ACTs in September and re-taking the SATs in October. I am interested in majoring in Science or Pharmacy or something along those lines. I live in NJ and I'm interested in staying pretty close to home (any close states are fine). I have no idea which colleges would suit me or that I would get into. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! :)</p>

<p>I don't have any college suggestions for you, but I'm curious why your SAT's are so darn low? They would make your GPA look like it's highly inflated at your school.</p>

<p>Yeah that's what I'd like to know too... I am not the best test taker apparently. My reasoning is that I am really not that 'naturally' smart, it's just that I work extremely hard to get the grades that I do. It would probably help if I studied more for the SATs, which I should start doing. I am hoping I will do better on the ACTs. No one at my school seems to be doing too great on the SATs... I don't understand it</p>

<p>You look like a student who should be doing really really well on the SAT. You should def. take the ACT. I have heard of people getting 1500s (3secs) on the SAT but get like a 27-29 on the ACT. If not I would look at schools where the SAT is optional.</p>

<p>Yeah should be... my friend goes to the same school as I do and she's number 5 in the class, yet she only got a 1290 herself... and my other friend, number 6, got a 1260. I don't understand because even those scores aren't the best</p>

<p>any other suggestions?</p>

<p>You should be able to get into Rutgers, even if the SATs do not go up. If you want to look out of state, try U Delaware, UMBC, Towson, Goucher, Fordham. You might like Drew, Syracuse, or Alfred.</p>
