<p>So, some will probably read this and see that I have room to improve: I am a little over halfway through my junior year of high school, so I certainly have time to improve, and if you guys could give me insight into maybe how much I need to bump up my SAT score or ACT for example that would be awesome. Thanks for any input!</p>

<p>Get a leadership position as a EC. Bring up your overall SAT/ACT. Wish i had your reading grade…You have a chance if you can do those two things

<p>Honestly, your scores look fine–maybe bring up the math to over 700? I’d be focusing more on what can make you stand out (EC’s, something that indicates a particular academic passion), b/c it sounds like you meet the academic threshold.</p>
