<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>By the way, sorry for the weird formatting of the EC's, I copied them from a word document.</p>

<p>By the way, taking ACTs tomorrow. Maybe I can substitute that for the shoddy SAT score!</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>u might as well put UVA as a match! they are very in to minorities/diversity and ur scores r pretty high (plus ur instate so that will help too)</p>

<p>That's what I was hoping.</p>

<p>I'd say VT is a safe, especially since you're in-state.</p>

<p>Well I know it's a safe but I've heard that you need a 600 to get into the engineering school and I only have a 590! 710 math saved me but I'm still mad about that...UGGHH</p>
