<p>Alrighty, these chances are coming to you after the early scores view. I did way better on the SAT and dropped by one point on the ACT so I'll just post my best scores.</p>

<p>What do yall think I need to work on, and those standardized tests are as best I can do, I mean, my act went down on the most recent test, a girl threw up in my testing room.</p>
<p>Any Advice, College Reccomendations, greatly appreciated
Thanks for Reading </p>
<p>Well maybe your dad is with Stanford???? Let's face it, your SAT/SAT is really low for your top school. They are fine for a football recruit, so focus on that angle.</p>
<p>Michigan and Wisconsin are probably matches.</p>
<p>what colleges would you reccomend I look at for Business / medical sciences but how much emphasis is really placed on test scores, on all of those lists my scores are in the middle 50 % range.</p>
<p>Assuming that you intend to play football in college, would you prefer to play at the Division I-AA or the Division III level? (The reason why I ask is that Cornell is Division I-AA and Washington is Division III) If its the former, there are a number of excellent academic schools that boast strong football programs. William & Mary, Harvard, Penn, Lafayette, and Bucknell are a few that come to mind in the east. Out west, Cal Poly, UC Davis, and the University of San Diego (USD) are ones to consider. If youd rather play Division III, the College of Wooster, Trinity, and Occidental are all very good LACs with solid football programs that you may want to check out.</p>
<p>thanks wolfman for the reply, it's something that I've seriously considered but i want to play that up so that I can get into a top 20 university more easily. Is that wrong to think like that? I guess I am posting my stats for an academic evaluation more than a football eval. I want to go to the best college for learning and not the other way round.</p>
<p>No,only being recruited improves your chances (and by a huge factor), you need to send your tape to coaches. Ask your coach how to make one or hire someone if you can afford it. </p>
<p>You need to look at average SAT scores for a school, and if you have no hook (recruited athlete, URM, legacy to a smaller extent) you mostly need to be above that average. For Stanford that's probably about 1480 (CR and math) and certainly above 1400 for your other reaches.</p>
<p>Without football, schools in the BC range seem more likely.</p>
<p>How are these schoosl gonna see a 2030? What medium are they going to use to compare individuals? Will they convert it to the old score and just drop the writing? How m uch emphasis is placed on the essay scoree?</p>
<p>What other colleges are similar to BC with med and/or Business?</p>
<p>Might want to look at some Patriot League schools with rich football tradition and great academics-Holy Cross and Colgate. Holy Cross has better football facility and is only 1 hour from Boston.</p>
