Will a low SAT score screw me?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok so i just got my PSAT scores back today an i got a 1430 out of 2400. So when I actually take my SAT's I'm looking at a 1500-1650 score. So will a poor SAT score keep me from getting into a decent college like VT or JMU?</p>

<p>Here are the rest of my credentials...
-NHS
-Music Honor Society
-Spanish Club
-Key Club
-200+ hours of community service
-Held a job for over a year
-I'm in all honor classes and have all A's and B's in them
-4.1 GPA
-Marching Band/Wind Essemble
-All County/District Band member</p>

<p>P.S this is my second time taking the PSAT's as a junior.</p>

<p>You should use the time you have to prepare, and then take them again as a senior, after taking a few practice tests. Bad SAT scores will hurt, but if the rest of your application is strong enough to make up for it, then they may not kill you.</p>
