<p>Before you read: I go to a very rural public school in NC that offers next to no APs, no test prep, and has a high drop out rate, if that matters at all. To make up for APs, I have taken several dual-enrollment classes </p>
<p>I'm a rising senior</p>
<p>Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): 1750 (CR: 670 M: 430 (I know.) W: 650 E: 10) (Single Time, I will retake in the fall to try and raise my scores. I have done extensive math prep and hope to raise my math score by at least 150 points, as well as a possible raise on my CR and W)
ACT: 28 (again, if I raise the math I will be upwards of 30)
SAT II: N/A (I will take United States History and Literature)
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.88

IB (place score in parenthesis): N/A
Senior Year Course Load: AP English Literature, AP US Gov, AP Human Geo, Dual Enrollment Statistics, Honors Anatomy
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): N/A

But to me, everything looks good except the standardized test scores. My advice to you would be to either focus on the SAT or the ACT, NOT BOTH. That way, your focus is only on one exam, and you’ll get better results because of the extra concentration.</p>
