<p>I had really bad psats, so I got the princeton review book and the blue book and just did sections till I couldnt see straight, and went over every single error I made. I felt overwhelmed at first like I couldnt ever beat the sat, but it begins to become second nature. I lived and breathed the sat for a month and a half ( a lot less than some kids ) and went up a hundreds of points. Trust me if I can do it anyone can. It's all about self-discipline. good luck.</p>

<p>hm. i'll try really hard then. thanks</p>

<p>what about new england college of pharmacy and if you study hard pitt has a great pre pharm schol</p>

<p>I live in NJ, so I am sure Rutgers, you will definitely get in. This is an example of what I have heard of, great student, but bad test taker. A 3.9 GPA means straight A+s except for a few As. Don't worry, you should get into any school you want if you just study more for the SATs.</p>

<p>it may be a stretch. sorry, but those scores are pretty average, and those colleges aren't average. You've got rather good other credentials, though: chief editor, volunteering. Try to focus on those areas that you are good at. Best of Luck!</p>

<p>you have plenty of time to take the SAT's again. Make it your summer project to study,prepare for the exams. Take a prep class, if possible. Some people do not do well on the SAT's do to a variety of factors, but they are so important.</p>

<p>Yes - but you're going to need to up those scores a little bit to become competitive for the upper tier of schools. Just practice practice practice. Don't go through the book, just keep taking tests. You ** will ** improve.</p>
