I’m sorry to say that your SAT is about 350 points below being barely competitive. Your ACT won’t get you there either. Adcoms will excuse a lack of APs when your school doesn’t have them. They generally won’t excuse a standardized test score that low unless you are a URM from a rough background. You need an ACT of 34 or better or an SAT of 2250+ (1500+ on the old test). Then you need 3 SAT IIs over 700, preferrably over 750. If it is local, try to take some CC courses next year in the evening. Work on SAT or ACT practice tests over the summer. Fall in love with a different set of schools.
