I haven’t posted on CC before, so I apologize if the profile is rough. I would appreciate your critiques and odds on acceptance to any of the listed schools! Thank you!

Test scores are the biggest thing bringing your app down right now. I see that you’ve wisely included test optional schools. I would add even more of those.

@Studious99 Thanks for the response! I have been working on the ACT’s and plan on taking it in September. If it got up to a 32-33, is that good enough for Georgetown or University of Virginia (all things considered) in your opinion?

Yes, it will not get your app rejected right off the bat. @“WVOR357$”
