<p>One thing. Why is your ACT goal only a 34 and not 36? One of my favorite quotes of all time by Michelangelo: </p>

<p>The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.</p>

<p>My ACT goal is a 34 and not a 36 because I know I’m not smart enough or determined enough to get a 36.</p>

<p>I believe that you need to be in the top 5% of your class to receive a scholarship, especially the full ride!</p>

<p>alright, I will work on that :)</p>

<p>what if a school doesn’t rank top 5% and only goes up to top 10%??</p>

<p>hmm, I don’t know. Top 10% is good too, and I think you can get a scholarship with top 10%, i would ask your school though about the top 5%</p>
