<p>Essays should be good. It’s the only thing I was satisfied with on my SAT score lol. </p>

<p>I admittedly struggle with the reading section but have scored around 750 Math both times when taking the PSAT and knew I blew the section as soon as I took the SAT. Took it without a refresher course and while not enrolled in a math class. Knew I could do the problems just couldn’t remember how! </p>

<p>Will take again before applying. Taking September ACT and October Sub Tests with prep course! Much more comfordtable with ACT! Probably take SAT 1 once more as well.</p>

<p>Thanks again to whoever offers an opinion!</p>

<p>I'd say you have a really good shot - your school record sounds impressive, ECs look good (especially the baseball), and if your essays and recs are good I think the admissions people might overlook the lower SAT scores. If you take them again and get 700+ I'd say you have a fairly good chance of getting in :) Good luck!</p>
