Yes, my test scores aren’t very good, and I plan to retake the SAT in October. I have doubts as to whether I will do better because I stress out on these things alot.
I would also like advice on which other colleges to apply. Based on my research, there are many marketing agencies in NY. The reason I am pointing this out is because I want to land on internships and build connections while I’m still in school.
