Thank you!!!</p>

<p>P.S: I am truly glad that I realized about this useful website, College Confidential</p>

<p>The only addition to your resume can be in the SAT’s. Forget the score on the writing section, admissions pay minimal attention to it. For your chances to be at the top, try to get a 1500 out of 1600 on math and CR. Kaplan offers amazing books that focus on the two sections, they helped me go from 1360 to 1530 after completing them. Get in the 1500’s and your chances are pretty good.</p>
