<p>I won’t chance as I believe the whole process is a crap-shoot. </p>

<p>However, submit your ACT instead of your SAT, as a 34 ACT is equivalent to a 2220-2280 SAT</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree that your 34 ACT is better than SAT. However, your SAT II’s were awesome. In addition, your extensive research experiences are a plus. </p>

<p>Just curious because I need help getting my score up for ACT-what books did you use and how did you prep for it?</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. As for the ACT, I used the Princeton Review: Cracking the ACT. The book had great review and practice for each section so I just read each section and then took all the practice tests. I did the practice tests as close to testing conditions as possible and that really prepared me for the testing day.</p>

<p>You are a very strong applicant</p>

<p>You are a strong applicant, but Princeton and Stanford are crap shoots! Good luck! I hope you are accepted to your top choice!</p>
