<p>Those are all reaches/high reaches with your SAT score. Try to take it again if you can and study hard for it. Or, try the ACT, maybe it’ll be easier for you.</p>
<p>Your socioeconomic status and commitment to running could be good essay topics, but without the SAT scores your application is lacking a real backbone. I don’t know if those times would get you any form of athletic scholarship (if you hit your goals for this year you may have a chance, considering you’re already a competitor at the state level). I’d recommend the ACT, it can be easier than the SAT for some people</p>
<p>I did write about those two topic for my UC’s apps and planning the same for the Common App’s. Yeah i know my SAT’s are low but would my athletics help me out. Well I’m considered second tier recruit for a Division 1 college, but if i hit those track goal marks ill be considered a top recruit. I think its too late to take the SAT’s and ACT’s.</p>
<p>If it’s too late to improve the test scores, I’d focus on those running goals. They could be your ticket into a great college</p>
