Other:
I’m taking mostly AP classes (lots of history ones) and I’m also in my school’s Web Team (manage school website) so I know HTML, CSS, and am proficient in Adobe Suites
I’ve done multiple commissions for logos and designs for my peers, local businesses, and school clubs
I’ve also shadowed a local marketing company and attended a local college communication’s summer camp for a week

I’m very nervous because I know my SAT scores are low. I’ve tried bringing it up and have even done SAT math tutoring, but the math section is always so rough for me. I’m also applying Early Action for Temple, Fordham, UT Austin, and have already applied to UTD and UTA. Syracuse and Boston are regular decision

Thank you!!!

You will get into Temple University (and probably get a decent amount of money). I am not familiar with some of the schools you mentioned, but I would say that you will get into Fordham as well–definitely waitlisted if not accepted. It may depend on your ACT score and how well you do throughout the end of your senior year. Don’t be discouraged if some of these schools make you send mid-year grade ratings (that can happen even if you have a higher GPA like you do). They usually just want to make sure you are continuing to excel in your current classes. Sorry I couldn’t help you more! Good luck.
