<p>Hey CC! It's me again.
This is my official "chance me" post again. I have 10/11 schools that I'm planning to apply to next year (and maybe more) and I'm stressing like crazy. I think most of my schools (listed at the end) are reaches. I'm planning to go into the pre-med program and major in biomedical engineering. The reason I'm making a second post is because I added my ACT scores. I think that would change the reach/match/safety thing. </p>
<p>GPA: (UW) 3.67 (W) 4.05 - I didn't realize how important cumulative GPA was Freshman year so I didn't try very hard (got like, 2 Bs)
I'm in all honors and AP except US History and my required theology class. I'm only taking 1 AP test (Chemistry) this year but I'm taking 5 next year.
SAT I: 1790 [I realize how terrible this is, I'm planning to take it 2 more times]
CR: 570
Math: 670
Writing: 550 (hopefully the schools listed don't look at this haha)
I took the ACT and I'm waiting for the results. I think I didn't do well. I was bouncing back from a fever so I had constant migraines and I only prepped for the English (conventions and stuff) and Math. I will definitely take this again too.
[update]
I got a 29 on the ACT despite my fever and migraines
English: 29
Math: 30
Reading: 27
Science: 30
I haven't gotten my writing back. I'm taking this test again on June 14.
I'm also going to take the SAT II Math Level 2 and Chemistry.
Class rank: 25/209 (13%)</p>
<p><em>Keep in mind: Junior year has been the best year academic wise for me. I believe I will be able to raise up my GPA and Class Rank by the time application season comes around</em></p>
