<p>i just want to ask is there any hope for me getting into places like Morgan State University, Towson University , and West Virginia University.</p>

<p>I quickly scanned past your post on the HSL page l, and I thought that someone made a screenname of “Obama” and this was going to be a post about hoping he gets reelected this election. </p>

<p>I really am oblivious…</p>

<p>Was your 1300 and 1320 just CR/M? Or does that include writing…?</p>

<p>^No, I thought the same thing. Sparked mah interest. But interest is now lost.</p>

<p>yea including writing</p>

<p>Obinna,
You are in the range of accepted students at Morgan State and WVU, Towson is a reach if you just look at scores.
There is no guarantee at any college, but you should try for all of these, and also add some more possibilities to your list.
Yes, there is hope for you. The key is to find colleges that have what you are looking for, are a good “fit” academically, are affordable, and you think you will be happy there.
If you post your state of residence, academic interests, what you think you would like ( size of college, location… etc,) and what you are looking for financially, people here can post some suggestions.
Some schools have elected to be score optional as well. You have taken some challenging classes and shown improvement. A list of good fit colleges will increase your chances of success- and the three you pick are a good start… but there may be more.</p>

<p>that is the best advice anyone has given me thank you</p>

<p>I would suggest taking the ACT, since 1320 out of 2400 is way too low for any skl except for community college. First time I met someone with a super low SAT score that takes honors/AP classes.</p>

<p>Try and study for the SAT or ACT, since it looks like getting those scores up is the best thing you can do right now. There is definitely hope for you! Try for schools that you don’t think you can get into, because if your essays and extracurriculars are good then you may get accepted! Good luck!</p>

<p>Good advice to try the ACT. Here is a link to score optional colleges as well. Your record is better than your scores so these schools will look more at that:</p>
