<p>staring,
It does not hurt to apply. Not everyone improves on the SAT. You might try the ACT as an option.</p>
<p>A suggestion would be to bring up those grades and take a class to improve your grammar and usage skills. This would help you, no matter where you attend college. </p>
<p>As you may have read scores were up again this year at SC. At this point it is a reach for you.</p>
