Another chance me...

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey, guys. So, I just wanted to explain a few things about my high school before I proceed with my whole “chance me.” I come from a very academically competitive public magnet school. Since the curriculum is already very challenging, my school does not offer any AP courses. However, it does offer dual enrollment college courses. I wanted to include this tidbit of information just in case any one was concerned with that aspect of my “chance me.” Also, I will not know my class rank until I obtain my transcripts this fall. I am open to any recommendations on how I can improve my resume.</p>

<p>-SAT: I took the SAT I and have a cumulative score of 1830. Not the best, I know, but the formatting of the test doesn’t work with me, so I have decided to take my chances with the -- ACT. I will be taking the Math I, Literature, and Biology E/M Subject Tests this fall.
- ACT: 29. I will be retaking this in the fall since I realize my score can be brought up.
- GPA (w): 3.73
- Essays & recommendations=will be awesome</p>
