Okay so I graduated high school with honors. The problem is that junior year my SAT was 1520 and I was so disgusted with my score that I didn’t even bother retaking it. Even though I took AP classes and have a high GPA I feel stupid and worthless. I want to get my bachelors degree. Nothing against community college but I don’t want to go to community college first and then transfer because it’s confusing to transfer credits and then I have to situate myself all over again and other reasons that are just too long for me to mention. Do you know any good universities around the country that will accept this score? I wasn’t an athlete in high school and I only volunteered a little bit but I lost all of my community service hours papers. I’m so depressed
Go to fairtest.org and find colleges that do not require an SAT. Evidently more than 800 of them. Good luck!
my score is that bad?
it all depends on where u trynna land…but thats dead average meaning if you want any chance at going somewhere competitive its gonna be difficult. I don’t understand why u only took it once, like of course your not gonna do too well on a test that you aren’t familiar with. The first time I took SAT was in 7th grade I got 1470 around there. I’m a senior now and got a 2100. you’re bound to improve but i guess its too late for that now
If you’re “disgusted” with it, why ask if it’s “that bad”? We’re taking our cues from you. There are many good universities on that test-optional list (including where my boyfriend goes, apparently!).
I’ve seen first hand, kids can get in to decent schools with SATs in the 1500’s. I’m very familiar with the Florida system, and I know minimally 3 schools that would happily take you here (FAU, FIU, FGCU). You just need to do a little research. Also, more often than not, kids that cannot get it together on the SAT can do much better on the ACT, have you tried that? Is that still an option for you? I worry it may be too late.
