<p>Thank you guys for the additional suggestions. I would surely look at those colleges. If you guys are wondering, I am excited to pursue kinesiology/sports medicine/sports science in college! So yeah, I was looking at that major as one of the criterias. Thank You</p>
<p>I was never ever good on timed setting. I'm really frustrated that I couldn't test in a timed setting. Sometimes I get anxieties and sweat out. But since I had to do this, I guess I'll deal with it. I talked to my counselors about my scores and advice me that I should take practice SAT tests to get comfortable with it. Even that I couldn't have high scores: practice tests ranges from 1490 - 1720. Tried doing the ACT practice tests, and I couldn't believe I could get high 20s, low 30s without timing myself. My mom is worried about me not testing well when timed, so I'm really trying to boost it up by studying. So far, school timed tests is starting to take a toll on me.</p>
<p>On the bright side, I really appreciate the suggestions. This is helping me out. If anyone has anymore comments, feel free to post it. Thank you.</p>
<p>Replying to continue this thread. Bump. I'm also worried at the financial aid I'm going to get, so I'm really picky with colleges that might give me merit aid as well as need based, if I could target my ACT score to 28.</p>
<p>Retake the SAT's in November. Study, and try to get at least 1 score into the 600's. Then, you might be able to get into some of the schools you've mentioned, or if you desire, UC Davis...though it would still be a reach.</p>
