How much will low test scores hurt me?

<p>Well… to be honest, this isn’t likely to go well. And – if you truly can’t get your scores any higher than this, you will likely struggle academically at Swat if you do get admitted. If you don’t think you can hike your scores much, then your best bet is to start looking very hard at the rest of your colleges on your list and getting comfortable with your backup plan. At a school like Swat, your love for them does not translate into them loving you back. Do you have an ED II school in mind (assuming you want to go the ED route)? Have you worked very hard to find matches and safeties you like as well? Other than very intensive test prep (which should pay off if you are the type to be successful at Swat anyway), doubt there is much else you can do.</p>
