<p>I got a 1930 in SAT 1 and im an international student. I am targeting low liberal arts colleges like Elmira and Lafayette and some good ones. Is there any chance I will get in with aid and scholarships? I really need both....otherwise I can't go. I really need some help guys. I am also giving SAT II in december and my counselor says its an advantage plus my dads retired so i'll be considered for aid. Should I give it again in Jan or will it be too late?
Please help me.
My GPA is above average, around 3.8.</p>
<p>Okay, you can get around with that score, if you don’t need financial aid. Now, that you do , its going to be a lot tougher. Look for universities that provide merit aid, I found a post here regarding some of them . IF you think you can raise your score by 200-300 then give it .
Best of Luck!
And which country are you from ?</p>
<p>Im from Pakistan. anyone else’s opinion is welcome too.</p>
<p>What was you score breakdown for the SAT? Cause if you did better in CR and W and it was your math that pulled you down, then it may give you a higher chance of getting into liberal arts. It depends on what you want to major in as well.</p>
<p>If the colleges you are applying to accept Jan SAT scores… then I’d say give it a try. Strong academics and essays should get you into Elmira but dont know about Lafayette!!
Also… as gabby135 says… your sub scores matter as well! So if you’ve got a low CR and no TOEFL/IELTS… you would mostly need to write it again!! Anyway All the best!!</p>
