<p>Worries: I have read and heard that Stanford like at lest 3 years of a language but I dont really want to take Spanish another year; I am also worried about how well i need to do on the SAT's and if I dont do well say like the 1500 to 1900 range if that alone will kill my chances of getting into Stanford/ any other IVY; Im worried about if I have anything that really makes me stand out, or shows my personality through what I do.</p>
<p>Questions: If you do bad on your first SAT and do better on your second one will Ivy's still penalize you for the first one? How in the world will i possibly make an essay stating all that I do, without sounding like i am listing? If I describe my community service works/ EC's and how they link to my passion is that a good topic for my essay?</p>
<p>Anyone who takes time to give constructive feedback, I really appreciate you! Thankyou</p>
