<p>Hi. I am currently a junior. Confuse and completely devastated by my SAT score, I would like to seek some advice from you guys. I have a lot of reaches in my mind already and I would also appreciate your input on my match or safeties.</p>

[</em>] Journalism: I design (the layout) and write columns (mostly about our debate club's accomplishments) for the school's newsletter.
[li] Web design/Graphic design/Video editing: I am very passionate about these stuff. I've been designing graphics for 6 years. I am also a freelance designer, making logos and website for small companies. I maintain a website where people can go to get resources for designing. I've only been editing videos for a few years, but I enjoy it a lot. I submit pieces to in-school competition when I have a chance.[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>I want to apply to... Stanford, Tufts, NYU, USC, Yale, Rice
I am also considering colleges in UK (I will have to declare a major upon submitting my application though, and I am still very unsure about what I want to become) ... UCL, King's College, Birmingham</p>
<p>I have a lot of interests and I enjoy all of them. That makes deciding very hard sometime. I know my course load seems super Asian and science-oriented, but I've recently been affected by the political situation in my country to the point where I want to major in that area instead. But then again, that's the beauty of liberal arts.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading up 'til here. Your kindness is super appreciated. :D</p>
