@mikeyrich16 If you know your SATs are well below the 25% mark for a school you have been deferred to, I’m not sure why you posted this or what you expected anyone to tell you. Had you come to the forum earlier in the process people may have had more constructive ideas (ex try the ACT, apply to a couple of test optional schools). As things stand there is nothing you can do to at this late date to improve what you seem to already know is the weakest part of your application. If you were looking to be coddled, unfortunately you came to the wrong place. (exasperation).
