I believe I have the full package to be accepted into CUA , but I am a horrible standardize test taker. What are my chances...Be honest</p>
<p>Everything is excellent, except, which you already probably know, your sat scores. I too am a bad standardized test taker. Also, I, like you, had excellent ECs to make up for it. I would say it is a slight reach for you mainly bc of your SAT scores. But, show ALOT of interest. Visit numerous times, schedule an interview if they have them. It is not impossible. You can do it with strong interest, strong teach recs, and great essays. Good luck! I hope you the best.</p>

<p>I would say that this is a high match or low reach school for you. It's not out of the question but it's not a safety school for you. Things that will be helpful to boost your application--Leadership positions (President of an EC?), strong EC's which demonstrate strong character, solid recommendations, academic awards (AP Scholar?), athletic awards (are you a varsity player? MVP? Captain? All-County?), find a strong "hook". What is your rank in the class--are you in the top 50%?</p>
