<p>Have you done any college searches for schools with good chemistry/biochemistry programs but where you’d have a decent chance of admission? I know nothing about your intended major and which schools are good, but there ARE tools that you can use to help you find such schools. </p>

<p>If you can raise your SAT/ACT, your chances at top schools will improve…but you surely knew that it takes fantastic scores (and lots more) to get admission from those places. Look into less-selective schools with good programs, though, so you have a wide range of colleges for your list. </p>

<p>Good luck wherever you land!</p>

<p>SUNY Stonybrook comes to mind. Definitely worth taking a look at.</p>

4

<p>What can you afford?</p>

<p>State of residency and cost constraints are important in determining which schools to look at.</p>

<p>You may want to consider taking the ACT, since some students do much better on the ACT than the SAT (or vice-versa).</p>
