<p>Do NOT let any of those schools see that you received a 480 on US History and 480 on Critical Writing. That is below average for even some local schools, nevermind those nationally accredited research universities. You definitely should boost your SAT Critical Reading score as well. I think if you fix these problems you may be qualified for some upper tier schools, but I unfortunately do not believe you would be qualified for the schools you listed even if you fix those issues.</p>
