Is it possible to get into a college or university if your SAT and ACT scores are not as high as they should be for that school?

In: College Applications and Entrance Requirements [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Yes, colleges and universities look into many factors when deciding who to admitt such as GPA, letters of recommendation, extracuricular activities, volunteer work, awards and essays on applications as well as SAT or ACT scores. Try to improve your SAT and ACT scores if you can. That little bit might help you. But don't overly freak out about your scores. If you are strong in most of the other areas a lower SAT or ACT score should not hurt you.
