I think i blew college chances on one test

Applying to College

<p>The first time I took the SAt i got a 2120 but I decided to retake it and got a 1950. Is this going to hurt my admission chances a lot. I had 630 cr, 800 math, 690 writing the 1st time and the 2nd time i got 570 reading, 710 math, 670 writing</p>

<p>They'll most likely be taken aback that you actually did worse the second time around, and automatically add you on the PUBL (prestigious universities black list), good luck getting into college now!</p>

<p>Actually, he's being totally serious. The PUBL is re-compiled annually, and once your name is put on it, it doesn't come off for about 2 years (they figure that some people wait a year and apply again, so the minimum that most colleges keep your name on the list for is 2 years).</p>
