Honestly, my SAT scores are not great at all. 1140 (don’t judge me) I just don’t perform well on lengthy timed tests in a room filled with 100s of people. I’ve taken the test 3 times and won’t test again.
I applied EA to 17 schools (because I could see myself being more than happy at any of them) and went test optional if available. I’ve been accepted to 3 so far.
Test Optional:
Appalachian State
Baylor
Belmont University - accepted with $10,000 merit which is the highest for this year
Clemson
Florida Institute of Technology- accepted with $21,000 merit the highest amount offered
Furman
Nova Southeastern
Randolph-Macon accepted with $29,000 merit and an invitation to interview for a full tuition scholarship
Stetson
TCU
University of Miami
University of Tampa
UNC Wilmington
Wingate- accepted with $31,500 in merit
Tests Sent:
Auburn
University of Florida
UTK
I know that my chances are lowered for the schools that required scores unfortunately, but it is what it is and I’m not going to stress.
