<p>Thanks for the excellent advice Loremlpsum! That sounds like something I could do! I’ll definitely try to start my own service type activity, I’m so glad you wrote that. And I’m glad again I’m not totally hopeless after all (: </p>
<p>And Congrats on your sons success! Would you mind summarizing a few of his stats real quick for comparison? And how many colleges did he apply to? </p>
<p>And vonlost; the reason Reed is my safety school is because one of my close friends just got accepted and is attending as a freshmen. He had an almost identical schedule (at my highschool), he had very weak, few EC’s just like me, and his SAT score was JUST over 2000 (he also messed up sophomore year and got a B in Alg 2). So I figure, if he made it in, I have a high chance of making it as well. I’m not sure if that logic makes sense, it does in my mind haha.</p>
