So I’m not gonna lie- my SAT scores are pretty crappy, ditto my EC stuff. I do plan on retaking the SAT October 1st and trying for at least a 1300 (study tips would be real bueno), and I’m trying to see if there’s any potential clubs I can squeeze in before November (which is when I plan on sending applications). I understand that schools do look for well rounded students and not just straight up nerds, however my school did receive a pretty large budget cut my sophomore year and as result many of the “easy” clubs (chess, cooking, newspaper, debate, etc) ended up having to be axed, so there really wasn’t much I could do there :confused: anyway, thanks for reading this (assuming you did), have a fantastic day!
