HELP: Accepted to college but.. ?!?

Question

Hey! I'm not sure if any of you guys (or girls) ^^ can help me but I recently got accepted to college ED and wanted to apply to full-tuition scholarship .. I got an e-mail invite but my SAT scores are 10 points short of the minimum (580 math/660 reading = 1240) However, I know with my EC's (president of clubs at my school, part of a prestigious cultural organization, founder of an organization outside of school, speak 3 languages, volunteer in various countries) that I would have a better chance at the scholarship. What should I do?! :/

Update:

Also, I e-mailed the director of the scholarship and she told me to send her my SAT scores when I get the chance :|

Update 2:

Deadline is Jan.15 ..so I can't retake the SAT my my score increased 90 points from before

You should definitely try, you did a lot of volunteer work and involved in a lot of clubs. 10 points doesn't matter much.

If you fall below the minimum, your application will almost never be considered. It's a minimum for a reason. However, in some special cases such as yours, they may make an exception if you make an appeal. This is rare.
What I would do is apply anyway and send SAT scores later. SAT scores are often due way after the application itself. Take the January SAT and send those scores.

A full tuition scholarship is worth taking the SAT exam again to see if you can boost your score.
