<p>looks pretty good, esp. if you get the SAT up (low reach perhaps? I'm not an expert)
chem and economics--that's quite a combination =D</p>

3

<p>i agree. your stats are great, but it would help to get the SAT up just a tad.</p>

4

<p>^ ah come on the SAT is quite good!</p>

5

<p>Agree ajayc!.... What are you thinking llabesa16? jeez...</p>

<p>I REALLY don't see the point in retaking the SAT. I've said this time and again in such threads...but use that Saturday morning to work on a killer essay instead!</p>
