<p>Can I get into Hillsdale College or Grove City College?
Note: My test scores are below the 50% mark for both colleges.</p>

<p>I’m not too familiar with either school, but it can’t hurt to retake both tests in the fall just to try. Maybe you could squeeze some studying in over the summer to help you feel better about it.
Honestly, without knowing much about the schools, I think as long as your scores are in or near the 25th-75th percentiles, you shouldn’t have much to worry about. Just compensate in other parts of your application- great recs, essays, etc.- the things you CAN control and get help on. Good luck and don’t worry!</p>

<p>Thanks and will do!</p>
