I’m going to retake the SAT to boost my math score this Fall, so hopefully I can help that weak point on my application.
@woogzmama I am a CA resident, and I will definitely apply to a few more UC schools (since it’s all one app anyways and they’re cheaper). I am concerned that because the beginning cost is cheaper, I won’t be a strong financial aid candidate. BU has a scholarship I am applying for, too, and there are a few privates I believe will give me a good financial aid package.
As for my reaches, I think that like most candidates, a bit of luck is required. I’m not going to be too hard on myself and hope for the best. What would you suggest to make myself stand out?
