<p>Your class size is 10? You won't get anywhere with a 930 SAT score, sorry. Try for a community college and then transfer.</p>

3

<p>930/1600 or 930/2400?</p>

4

<p>cheerleading captain is a very good EC, but your SAT/GPA seems to be on the low side.</p>

5

<p>there are tons of smallish schools in NC where a 930 might be low but NOT an impossibility- go to CFNC</a> - Welcome
look at their college list and view the profiles sorting by Sat scores</p>

<p>Many of these schools see it as their mission to help late bloomers( as it seems you may be!</p>

6

<p>How about good small southern LACs? BHM-Southern, Centre, Emory & Henry, Guilford, Hendrix, or Millsaps? I'd go to one of these over 'bama, Beaufort, and Charleston Southern. Good luck.</p>

<p>I'd definitely recommend community college. It will prepare you for a 4 year school, especially considering that your High School only has 10 students... </p>

<p>If your SATs are 930 / 1600 (just reading and math), your probably just need a little bit more practice before going to a 4 year school. </p>

<p>If the 930 includes all 3 sections, then I'd definitely suggest a community college. 100%. That's not a bad thing though. A 930 on the SAT means that you're not ready for college. It means that your math and verbal education was insufficient, which somehow doesn't surprise me considering your school has 10 students.</p>

<p>Her school likely has 40 students. 10 students per grade. But small nevertheless</p>

<p>How were your essays and recommendations? It might hurt you a little not to have taken any English/math classes in senior year since some colleges prefer you take those courses all four years, but given that you went to a smaller religious school, it might not hurt you that much. You might want to be more specific about your SAT scores (as walt99 said, out of 1600 or 2400) and individual section scores would be helpful. I also recommend you consider a couple years of community college and then transfer; it'll help you become more accustomed to college life both academically and socially since your school's so small.</p>

<p>I think jbrown gave you some very good advice. There are a lot of small schools in NC and VA that might be worth a look. Check out Barton, Mars Hill, Belmont Abbey and Gardner Webb in NC and Virginia Weselyan, Radford, and Shenandoah in VA. Good luck!</p>

<p>I have a 930 out of a 1600
490 Verbal
440 Math</p>

<p>Yes, my school only has 10 students in it's senior class, the junior class is 5. I came from a school of about 3000.
I am taking math and english in my senior year. (Pre Cal and English IV)</p>

<p>I've been accepted to Charleston Southern already, no desire though to really go there. My essay was strong (proof read by an admissions counselor). Winthrop is pending upon my first semester grades. I took an SAT prep class that was supposed to raise me 200 points, it did not. I'm not the strongest test taker, nor have I ever been! </p>

<p>Thanks for all the help!! Any more would be appreciated.
Community college is kind of out of the question, I'd rather go somewhere small and then transfer if that is needed!!</p>

<p>What's going to make you do better on the SAT is reading difficult material and doing challenging math problems. There are no tricks - just really work your hardest and take the best math classes possible. </p>

<p>Make sure you know how to calculate the area or circumference of a circle off of the back of your hand. The concept of the Pythagorean theorem should be on the top of your head, and Math should come natural to you. Apply these principles to new and different applications. Study them in a variety of contexts. That's what makes you do well on the SAT math.</p>

<p>anyone else want to help?</p>

14

<p>did you look at any of the NC schools I suggested?

<p>I liked East Carolina and High Point. Belmont Abbey wasn't too bad either!! Thanks</p>
