<p>I am a junior- I transferred from #3 public school in Minnesota to a VERY competitive and more academically rigorous public school in Virginia, and in fact, so many seniors from my new school were accepted into prestigious colleges (MIT, Harvard, Brown, Yale, Princeton, Columbia,...). </p>

I have a profound hearing loss (I am deaf), and this really affects my English skills. It is why my CR and W skills are low, along with no prepareness. I am planning to retake SAT I, and of course, I will study very hard for it. I am planning to take SAT II History this May (600s), and Chemistry and Math 2C (getting 700-720s on practice tests).</p>
