<p>Bump</p>

<p>Hell yeah wow you’ll get into any school with those stats. Don’t worry about it you’re fine. Can you give me any tips on studying for the sat? Like what books to buy, etc. I scored only an 1880 without studying and I’m super scared I won’t be able to score a 2000+ with studying. Any tips? </p>

<p>By the way my weighted GPA is a 4.65 so its close to yours but I’m a horrible test taker sigh</p>

<p>Haha thank you so much! I think I sent you a message about sat books etc. let me know if you didn’t get it because I’m pretty clueless with this discussion thing… :)</p>

<p>Bump</p>
