<p>Patrick, you do not have to have your test scores in BEFORE you apply to a school. If you retake your ACT and/or take the SAT's, in October, you will be fine for applying any time you want -- even most EA options. Assuming you bring up your test scores (really, you need to do some prep work here because it's holding you down), I think you have a good chance at the Colorado schools.</p>
