this note has nothing sexual

I recently got my SAT scores and I was wondering if anyone on this site has any recommendations for universities that will take me with this score. It was my best effort.

Math-480
Critical reading 450
Writing-500

Total 1430/2400

Thanks

Don't know if this helps, but follow this link and you'll find 11 colleges that don't require SAT:

As far as SAT scores go, you need to first find colleges you'd like to go to, and then find out each of their SAT requirements. Many of my friends started college in community colleges because they're easier to get in, but after a year or two they kept up their GPAs and transferred to much better schools. Or you can always retake the SAT if your schedule allows. Invest in a test-prep book/program from Barrons', Kaplan, or Princeton Review. They really work!

I got a 1300 on mine, got into my first choice school. Elmira as it were, private, but very expensive. I received a scholarship(due to my essay written for my application), but it still wasn't enough. I ended up going to a state school(a SUNY).

Point of the story:

Most state schools will accept those scores and some private schools will if you impress them other ways.

What are your career ambitions? Do you even need to attend college? A technical school might be an option.

How do you plan to pay for your education? A college education is expensive and no guarantee of financial security. Even if you get into your chosen field your probably going to have some kind of debt. Are you going to get your return on your investment?

I would recommend looking at a community college for your first two years and then transferring to a larger university. Just make sure the credits transfer. A two year degree might also be an option.

thanks a lot guys.

I will definitely look into all the options you have talked about.
