<p>If I write top notch essays and have great letters of rec, would I have a good chance at any of these schools even with my terrible GPA (nosedived junior year with my rigorous schedule)? Should I retake my SAT for a third time because the second time I took it, I blanked out on the essay which killed my score, so I would have improved. Also should I try for the ACT?</p>
