Why are you limiting yourself to those colleges?
What are you planning on majoring in? Are these colleges the best at that program?
I'll provide you the same advice I provide everybody
1. Determine what you want to study
2. Talk to people in that profession and determine which programs you should be looking at........and where these programs are
3. Find out from the school what the program requirements are from
a) grades
b) test scores
Personally, if you have the ability to post a question on Yahoo! Answers, you probably have the ability to click on the University's web site and find out what you need to know.

First of all you shouldn't choose one university to go to. The general rule is apply to TEN. Out of these ten you need to apply to 4 you KNOW you will get in to, 4 you think you can get in to and 2 that are "out of your reach". Apply as EARLY AS POSSIBLE. Online tutorials for SATs are not good ones. I suggest you go to Barnes & Noble, or another reputable book store, and purchase a tutorial by either Princeton Review or Kaplan. I prefer Kaplan materials, but really it's just a matter of preference. Both of those are highly reputable and worth the money. Your grades should be the best you can possibly make them. You can never have a GPA that is "too good". Your SAT/ACT scores can ALWAYS be too low. So, again, get the best you can. I understand how frustrating this can be, and each college (and even each department within that college/university) has a different standard for admitting students. There is no hard and fast rule. I wish you the very best of luck.

1. Do you have an idea of what you want to major in? I'd look to see what majors each college offers and what you might consider majoring in if you went there. Even if you don't major in what you originally decide on it helps in comparing programs. For example, if you think you want to major in English then see which of these colleges offer English and compare the programs. Which one(s) seems the most interesting or best suited to your interest(s)? You can do that for any major you might be interested in. Visit the campuses. Talk with professors, current students, and staff members. As far ast the test scores go, you can either find out on the website for each individual school or you can contact one of the admissions counselors and ask them. The same thing goes for what they are looking for in prospective students.
2. Here are some websites to check out. Just so you know, just because you may suck at math doesn't mean you won't get accepted to a college or university. You may do better than you think on the math placement test the give all incoming students. Even if you don't do well, you would be placed in a remedial math course. http://www.gomath.com/, http://class.universalclass.com/chash/e/q/u/equation.htm, http://www.collegeboard.com/splash
