<p>I’m a dad and not a school admission counselor. I am not sure if you have a chance to take the SATs again but if you can, I suggest that you do. You might practice on the CR section. You can even go on the college board website and work on that section in the practice tests. Your CR score is low and doesnt really match your other 3 scores which are excellent. If you cant bring your CR score up, you might want to take another look at your list and possibly add some schools to the list that match up with your SAT range. Again, I am a dad and I dont want to disappoint you but your college choices might not be realistic. You might even want to look at some schools that are SAT optional (I know for example, Holy Cross has SAT optional application). Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>I really appreciate your advice.
I realized that I really need to be realistic and I added some schools. In fact, I took the SAT again in Oct and my CR 490(it sucks) so I decided not to practice more because my time is tight.
But I have a question…if the school is SAT optional, I’d better not to sent my SAT scores? I mean, if I sent them to the schools that are SAT optional, it will release my chances??</p>
<p>I would suggest looking at Smith College as well as it’s quite interested in building up its international pool, particularly those from China. And they don’t look at the SAT, despite requiring it.</p>
