<p>Jackson,</p>
<p>Calmom is right on the money about not listening to score obsessed posters. They do not know any more than you what the chances are.</p>
<p>Colleges and universities, specially selective ones, admit "a class" not just individuals. They want a diverse class that will fit in with the school. Your letters of recommendation, your essay, your passion for certain things, intellectual curiosity, willingness to be challenged tell the story. Scores on standarized tests are the icing on the cake.</p>
<p>Take a deep breath, look at what you have done and concentrate on showing them what you can bring to the school. No harm in trying to improve scores, but they are not the sole determining factor.</p>
<p>As Calmom said, there is way too much bad information floating around.</p>
