<p>Will it kill your chances? No. Will it put a crimp in them? Probably, especially at your reach schools. I’m assuming you did some additional prep before the March test, so I know you’re disappointed your math score didn’t budge! If you can swing it, you’d probably get a lot of help from working with a good tutor. A tutor can help with nailing down what your weak spots are, and correct any gaps in your math skills. Good luck!</p>
