I am Asian American, my dad served in the military, and I have a minor hearing disability, which requires me to wear a hearing aid. My counselor and teacher recommendations should be good, but I am not sure how I stack against the rest of the seniors applying to college. I know Duke and UPenn are going to be reaches. I am also not the best test taker, and I recently took another SAT to try and boost my CR up to the 600s (waiting for scores). sorry if everything is all over the place, as this is my first post on college confidential. Any feedback is appreciated thanks!
