Is a 1440 SAT not enough for a major in aerospace engineering?
I am a junior, and I just received my SAT score of 1440 on my second try for March (math: 730 and reading: 710). My first try was 1410 back in September (math: 750 and reading: 660). I have been studying for at least the past three months, every day for 1 hour, alternating between reading, grammar, and math. I have also been focusing on the skills in which I have been making mistakes. I feel that I may be leveling out on my score. I would like to get to the 1500s, but now I wonder if that is possible. My parents have offered me one more chance to take the SAT to get a 1500, and I am wondering whether that is possible and what would happen if this were my highest SAT score. I understand that this is a score many people look forward to, but for me, and especially my parents, it is not enough. This has me a bit worried, as my standing in school is not excellent either (I have received 2 Cs so far). Please let me know what you think about this matter and any changes or fixes I can make.

What can I do this summer (summer before senior year) to improve my college applications?
Hello! This summer will be my last summer in high school. This fall, I'll be applying to colleges. I was wondering what things I could do this summer to improve my applications.

I feel like I am not doing enough and that my peers are way ahead of me. I plan for my major to be public/community health, so it would be better if I did things in relation to that. Please let me know of some other things I could do to improve my college apps!!! Thank you :)
