<p>I am not quite sure which schools I'm going to apply to but here are some I'm looking at:
Georgetown
NYU
Rutgers
George Mason
Uconn</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0585/4.5 (should be higher)
Rank: 65/663 (should be higher)</p>
<p>AP's: Comp Sci, Enviro Sci, Calc AB, either Bio/Physics (maybe)</p>
<p>ECs
Freshman: Freshman Soccer, JV Wrestling
Sophomore: JV Soccer, JV Wrestling
Junior: JV Wrestling
Senior: Hopefully Varsity Wrestling but if not JV.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: White
Both parents went to college</p>
<p>Other accolades (not sure if they matter)
3rd degree black belt in tae kwon do
2nd degree black belt in Muay Thai
1st place in NAGA gi and no gi events
4th place in Nationals for MilSim paintball.
Certified Microsoft Office Specialist: Word (I got a perfect score on the exam)</p>
<p>Teacher recs should be good and my essays should be good.</p>
<p>SAT Scores (I will be taking them again because they were awful imo):
March: M:470 CR:590 W:560 E:8
June: M:500 CR 560 W:640 E:10</p>
<p>Will be taking ACTs</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>What major do you think you’re going to apply under, or what are you interested in?</p>
<p>Also, I’ll just be frank, you won’t get in to g’town, NYU, and probably UConn with those SAT scores. If I were you, I would really put a lot of effort in to bring those up to at least an 1800 if not more, and that probably wouldn’t cut it.</p>
<p>If you want a realistic view of what scores you would need, I would recommend getting Princeton Review’s The Best 376 Colleges.</p>
<p>I’ll give you their SAT ratings for some of your schools
G’town: CR: 650-750 Math: 660-750 ACT Comp: 27-33
NYU: CR: 610-710 Math: 620-740 Writing: 620-720 ACT Comp: 28-31 GPA: 3.60</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m not saying that it is impossible, but it will make it a lot easier if you have better test scores.</p>
<p>I am looking at a major in Biochemistry or Computer Science (I know it looks like I’m bad at math from the score I got, but I perform just fine and understand the material in all my honors and AP math classes). I am just terrible at taking the SAT. I get anxiety when I take them (Even on practice tests) and can’t focus. I am going to try the ACT and see if I feel more comfortable with it. I am going to try and work with someone to get over the anxiety because it is really killing me.</p>
<p>Test anxiety should be very responsive to therapy.</p>
<p>If you’re considering biochemistry, be prepared for brutal weedout courses loaded with pre-med hopefuls. </p>
<p>You’ll need strong test-taking abilities in general for a large school. Would you consider smaller schools that have more individual attention and more writing assignments?</p>
<p>Are you recruitable as an athlete?</p>
<p>What is your instate public flagship?</p>
<p>Have you looked at SAT/ACT-optional colleges?</p>
<p>Are you applying for merit or need aid?</p>
