<p>Hey guys! I’m a rising senior from a small town in Connecticut. I’m an Indian female who honestly has no clue what she wants to do. My interests vary from dentistry to political science to broadcast journalism.</p>

<p>I attend a very competitive public high school, which is regarded as one of the best in the state.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.1 W, 3.88 UW (will be 3.9 next semester)
AP’s/Honors I’ve taken 6 Honors Courses, and I’ve taken 2 AP Classes. I’ve gotten 5’s on both U.S History and English Language. I’m taking 3 AP’s next year.</p>

<p>SAT’s: Here’s the problem. I scored a 1750 on my first SAT after scoring 2050+ on practice tests. I took it on a terrible day for me, and it showed on my performance. I’ve been studying throughout the summer and I’ve taken practice tests where my scores ranged from 1950-2150. So, hopefully I will score that high in October. I’m trying the ACT as well.
Subject Tests: US History, 710.</p>

<p>–Head Chorister at a prestigious chorister program for 8 years. I’ve toured Europe with this choir, and I’ve been featured in various magazines and newspapers throughout the nation and other countries. I’ve gone to an advanced treble course which featured 27 of the “best” choristers in the country. This is my passion and I wrote about it in my essay.–</p>

<p>Over 1000 hours community service through inner-city outreach programs in my church and by singing at various nursing homes throughout the state. I’ve done about 8 hours of community service every week since freshman for four years.</p>

<p>This one's kind of a toss-up. I think if you can manage a 2100+ on the SAT then you're in great shape. All the other credentials are there.</p>

<p>Dear sweetarte : A suggestion for you - take the ACT as early as possible (you should have already had a seating in your second half of junior year) in you senior year. If your composite score is 32 or better without any scores below 29, submit those scores only as your standardized tests. That SAT of 1750 will get your application no where at BC except to the round filing cabinet. Typically, students who perform well on the AP exams do not see that type of performance drop off. Hopefully, it really was a once off situation. Good luck.</p>

<p>Scottj--I'm planning to take the SAT I again in October and then take the ACT's later that month.Is this not a wise decision?</p>
