<p>do you know any1 OOS with low sats scores if so what were there scores and did they have everything else good... talking about students not on a athletic deal</p>

2

<p>Depends on how “low” is.</p>

3

<p>Yes, but they had high ACT scores.</p>

4

<p>I could have sworn someone here mentioned that there was an OOSer with a really high 1700 score–almost 1800. I think that’s the lowest I’ve heard of and probably very rare.</p>

<p>yes it is def possible b/c i had a 1750 and i got in oos. BUT i had other really good thngs going for me high gpa, good essays, and recs etc. Just do the best you can i’m a good example (and i’m sure there’s others) that a bad sat score cant completely break you.
good luck :)</p>

<p>were you a minority? so you think its worth applying? and have a possible shot</p>

<p>I’m dealing with the exact same thing… I have a low SAT score (1590, but am retaking it) and I’m also out of state… So I’m hoping my grades/leadership/EC/recs will help me out…</p>

<p>I wish your luck. I got a 1680 my first time and an 1870 my second time 2 months later with no prep. I’m sure that with some hard work you can get your SAT score up.</p>

<p>Yeah good luck kingofclifton!</p>

<p>Okay aigiqinf…creepy. That’s the exact same scores I got? 1680 first time. Did absolutely nothing except like 2 sections of a practice test haha. and I got an 1870 in June. yeah, but now I’m actually trying to get it up.</p>

<p>I’ve heard of people getting in OOS with relatively low SAT scores, but they’ve usually had some pretty great stuff outside of test scores & school. I know a girl who is technically in-state, but goes to a prep school in Boston. She got in the 1500s on her SAT, and got into Carolina. By the way…I’m talking 1500/2400. I was absolutely in SHOCK. She’s Native American, but I mean…still. Crazy. It can definitely happen.</p>

<p>I can assure you that being Native American is the main driver behind her admission…and being in-state sealed the deal. Native American is the #1 URM and virtually guarantees admission anywhere. Without that status, there would be ZERO hope of admission with a 1500/2400 for an OOS student ( I’m not even sure a recruited athlete but maybe it would be the one exception) and very little hope for instate unless another category of URM.</p>
