<p>Also, I met with my regional admissions rep and chatted with her for a while. I will see her again when she comes to visit my school during the first week of October. I am taking the SAT again in October and the ACT in September. I took a practice ACT and got a 31 the first time I ever looked at the types of questions..so I am hoping for a 32 or so in September. I can make my essays strong as well, and really show that I want to be at that college. </p>
<p>Thanks for any input! It really means a lot and good luck with everyone else's applications and this whole process - I know its tough and very taxing. </p>
