Good essay
Math is by far my easiest subject, I will most definitely get a 5 on the BC exam.</p>
<p>You have an excellent chance.</p>
<p>Agree with @collegefind. </p>
<p>@DogShelter, I don’t understand what you mean about the Science section of ACT going down 6 points? I assume that your Composite score is a true composite score and not some sort of a Super Score, because super scoring ACT is not a common practice. </p>
<p>I would be curious about what your PSAT and or SAT scores are/were? You appear to be one of those students that would do better on SAT than ACT (Math is one third on SAT, rather than one fourth on the ACT). </p>
<p>Your chances look good!</p>
<p>@lots2do yes that is my true composite, my super score would be a 34. I got a 2010 on the sat and a 189 on the psat. I get really nervous taking SATs for some odd reason. </p>
<p>The thing that stands out the most on your application is taking the initiative to teach other students about computer science, talk that up as much as you can. It shows you overcame the lack of opportunities at your school. Also be sure to put CS as your first choice </p>
<p>I made sure to do both on my application, half of my required essay was about it.
I did CS as my first choice, and I put down mathematics as my second. </p>
