<p>Anyway, I'm going to be a senior at a decent sized public high school from a lower-middle class area in Maryland. Im Indian-American, and I'm going to eb asenior next year. </p>
<p>SATs:
I took them for the first time but have not gotten the results back yet. My test scores are probably my weakest area, but I think that I wlll probably score a 1500/middle range score on my first try. However, I plan to take them two more times in the fall after serious preparation. I also plan to take the ACT and several subject tests in the fall. I know this makes it difficult to chance me, but many of the colleges that I am applying to have made the SAT/ACT optional anyway. </p>

I go to a high school outside of my district where I had to audition for the music program in order to be able to attend there. I take 3-4 music classes each year, and participate in many trips and activities with my choirs. I know it looks as though I have a lot of music classes, but it is required at my school to be able to go there and to stay in the program. I also will most likely major in music. I also only began attending this school in 10th grade, and when I transferred, many of my credits were not transferred, and my classes were poorly scheduled. </p>

<p>Essay: This will probably be one of my strong points. I will probably mention a long-term illness that I was hospitalized for, which is the primary reason I had to change schools and what it has taught me, but my whole essay will not focus on it. </p>
<p>Im sorry that this is long, but I will definitely chance you back if you chance me.</p>
