<p>You could get into MSU no doubt, you would likely get into UGA and Penn State, but UM is a reach until you get your SATs up to 1850, and even then. UM has become a pretty selective university over the last decade. By the way, the writing section on the SAT was ridiculously hard on this last test. I got 710 on practice tests and a 620 on the real thing this time around. I’ve also noticed several other posters mentioning their lower than expected writing scores. Weird.</p>
