I think you should definitely study hard for the SAT, retake it, and hope for the best. If you don’t bring that score up… I can’t see you having much of a chance. Still apply, but don’t get your hopes up too much. Absolutely write about going to see your father in jail, mother’s disability, and family income of 12,000. I think that will be a big marker. Look at Carnegie Mellon as a possible match (for certain majors) if you bring up that SAT.

Carnegie Mellon SAT Middle 50%

SAT CR: 610 - 710
SAT Math: 690 - 780
SAT W: 610 - 700
