I will be really cold and blunt with you. So you come on CC and say how you bombed the exam. So what? Are you thinking that colleges admission officers will notice you and have pity on you and get you into their college?

But do you know what’s worse? That you are feeling as if you do not have hopes AT ALL, thinking “all those work will be going into waste because of [your] low SAT scores.”

It’s not hard to see people like you who are overly obsessed with SAT. But don’t forget, SAT is a (ONE) factor of evaluation, and there are tons of other things that are factored in when evaluating applicants as well. Do you think colleges will view four HOURS as important than four YEARS? Please grow up, high school backgrounds are LOT MORE important than a single SAT score. If you have “worked so hard over the last four years when it came to [your] GPA and EC’s,” then they will back you up. Don’t be a crybaby.

Also, you should have a better mindset. Don’t forget, college is NOT a life. It does NOT determine your life at all. If you are really desperate to get into the best college, then try to do better in the college, as you can still transfer from a college to another. You still have another chance. It is not hard to see alumni of prestigious colleges who graduated after transferring from “worse, easier” colleges. Your life is NOT over, if you are still thinking this is it.
