Is the Work worth the Result?

First off, thanks for all of the advice! I think, since it’s pretty much unanimous, that I will at least take a shot at the SAT. To answer a few questions:

After MIT and Stanford, in no particular order, are:
UC Berkley, Colorado School of Mines, Harvard, Brown, Cal-Tech, and WPI.

My parents are not very wealthy, which is why I am concerned about scholarship money.

Not to get too off topic, but something that now concerns me even though it didn’t before… does the whole “starting a club” thing really sound so shallow? It’s a legitimate endeavor, so do I need to work on presentation? I know “mom2collegekids” thinks it’s a joke, but it’s actually taking a significant part of my time to get the organization established and running. Do you guys think there is anything else I should consider about the NMS or my college plans in general?
