<p>I’m no admissions officer, but your ACT score just kills your resume IMO.</p>
<p>How did you do on AP tests? Did you have any clue that the ACT would come out the way it did?</p>
<p>You sound like a great kid and your magnet school may have been the best around for you. However, I think your school may have let you down. A “great magnet” is a relative term. It maybe great compared to nearby schools but I wonder how it objectively ranks vs schools in your state.</p>
<p>I mention this so that when you go on to be successful, you may choose to live in an area where schools are objectively superior.</p>
<p>Thanks but of course I plan to do better my mom n dad have 5 kids I’m the oldest mom has illness and my dad struggles but I’m really hoping for Howard I can only play what was dealt but when I’m shuffling the sky will be the limit!</p>
<p>I think you’ll get Howard. GPA is more important than a test score.</p>
<p>Thank you I really hope I do are u in college now</p>
<p>I’m a dad. I used CC to get some insight for my S and D. My son got his first choice and is a freshman. My D got accepted ED to her number 1 choice also. I continue to ■■■■■ CC because I gained so much knowledge and experience about admissions and want to share it if I can be helpful. I’m a Hampton grad and I even tried to help you even though you are interested in Howard so I’m being really beyond nice.</p>
<p>Haha yes u are Hampton is on my list as well applied there yesterday!
Thanku for your insight!</p>
