<p>General Comments: I hope to do a combined major in possibly psychology and public health. I have a strong passion for intellectual disabilities that I have developed through the Best Buddies program, so I will definitely be highlighting this in my application.</p>
<p>My standardized test scores are not that great, but I am looking at about +38 for my IB predicted scores, which, of course, will be sent in, as well.</p>
<p>Please look over my application and tell me if I should give it a shot!</p>
<p>Also, for the supplement, I am thinking of sending in a picture of a project prototype I did during the Shad Valley program. It is a "naturally-artificial" Christmas tree designed for the eco-friendly themed project contest we had during the program. Should I even bother sending this in? </p>
<p>Thanks a bunch in advance!</p>
