I'm afraid that I'm not up-to-date on the new SAT scoring system. When I took the SAT, the max score was still 1600, in which case you would obviously get in (unless you bombed your prereqs). I got a 1380/1600 and I new that I would have gotten in without a problem based on that option.
HOWEVER, San Jac is an extremely competative program, and I'm not sure that my GPA alone would have qualified me. The SAT option is kind of the "backdoor" into the program if I remember correctly. What is/are your prereq GPA/grades in specific prereqs?
I would definitely recommend applying to other programs as well. Remember, San Jac isn't the only way to a nursing degree. Don't forget College of the Mainland (COM), UTMB (BSN- getting more competative), and Houston Baptist (expensive), and of course UT-Downtown, and Texas Women's as well if you're interested in BSN. There's another program too, but I can't recall its name at the moment. Many of my friends did not get accepted to San Jac but are now attending COM (LVN? - Remember you can progress to an RN, even online, later if it's your only option).
Also, if you don't have your CNA yet, get it if you have time!!! It will look great on your app, give you something to talk about in interviews for "experience," and give you a head start on clinicals. It's only a 5 week course, and it's given almost every other month. The course is expensive...but it's worth it, and some scholarships are available. I know it's one of the reasons I got in to UTMB. I think San Jac gives you an extra "point" or something as do many of the other schools. The CNA experience truly is a great way to get your feet wet in nursing, plus, the teachers are fabulous (take Mrs. Stockwell on South!!! - best nurse I've met yet!)
Definitely get your: 1) background check, 2) fingerprinting, 3) drug test, 4) TB test, and 5) immunization record up to date (Hep series takes 6 months and you may also need to have a titer drawn (UTMB)!) done ASAP because things get really stressful during crunch time.
Also, just because they now may make you drug test in advance, my friend entered a couple years ago, and they made her do a drug screen during orientation. So beware if you occasionally partake of the wisdom weed...DON'T.

Re: San Jacinto ADN Spring 2009 Applicants
I'm not quite as young (23 when I applied), but I was excited about the possibilities of relocating. Besides, not all application processes are created equal - some are incredibly simple. You might as well spend 30 mins (and probably $30) applying, right?
