<p>Also, I have published articles in more than five different national magazines and newspapers. My activity as a writer has been reflected in a book published by one of these magazines.</p>
<p>My problem, however, is my 1580 SAT Score (very low, I'm a really bad test taker). My SAT Subject Scores are going to be much higher, I believe.
Is this score going to lead to the rejection of my application (HYP)?
What about Wellesley/Williams/Mt Holyoke/Duke/Pomona?</p>
