<p>Improve your test scores and you’ll be pretty competitive.</p>

3

<p>Oops forgot to mention i go to the #19 ranked school in the country, so it’s very very difficult to get good grades here. and Philovitist what do you mean I’ll be pretty competitive?</p>

4

<p>Bumppppppppppp</p>

5

<p>Your ECs are good, so I would just work on improving your ACT score. I’ve found the Princeton Review book to be helpful.</p>

6

<p>thank you so much!</p>

7

<p>You’re competitive, meaning you have a good shot getting in but also a good chance of being rejected. Match.</p>

8

<p>Ah ok thank you so much. Have any tips?</p>

9

<p>Work on how you’ll order your main 10 ECs. Right now they seem unrelated and scattered. Talk about cooking for supplemental essays :)</p>

10

<p>Thanks!! they’re mainly split up into a couple categories: biological, photography, and community service</p>

<p>really appreciate the advice!</p>
