<p>I actually unexpectedly received a likely letter. You won’t believe my stats…</p>
<p>(All of my testing was done early junior year, i never bothered to retake them)
SAT: 1780
ACT: 28
SAT Sub: 630/630/730 MathII/USH/Spanish
Rank: 3/400ish</p>
<p>Hooks :URM, terrible school (my counselor explained how my school’s SAT average is 1170 and ACT average is 16)</p>
<p>Strongest Part of App: </p>
<p>Essays. These essays are the best I’ve ever written. I went back today to read them and I can hardly believe I wrote them.</p>
<p>ECs. Basically, I changed my city’s police patrol routes, started a nonprofit that gives research grants, 500+ hours of math tutoring, kept the youth in my city informed on city council decisions and proposals to make HS students engage in local politics.</p>
<p>Conclusion: I got a likely letter because of my essays, ECs, and transcript, not testing.</p>
