It’s not clear if your 1750 SAT scores are from high school or taken recently. If you’re serious about transferring to to a competitive four year college, it would be in your interest to have decent SAT scores to show. I’ve known many students who have improved their scores by several hundred points through a combination of SAT prep classes and lots of self study using the abundance of available SAT prep material.</p>
<p>On a related note, don’t let yet your poor high school record discourage you, especially if you’re turning it around. Lots of colleges will look seriously at you when you can demonstrate how you’ve taken control of your life and made the sacrifices necessary to achieve a 4.0 gpa with lots of EC engagement.</p>
<p>I make the above comment from personal experience. I barely graduated from high school (bottom 5th of my class), and went downhill from there. Ten years later I graduated from MIT. I was fortunate to have a good community college available when I finally “woke up”. An intense community college effort, with some unique life learning experiences, provided the stepping stone needed to grab MIT adcom’s attention.</p>
<p>Don’t give up.</p>
