<p>hey guys i'm new at this but i'm an upcoming senior and, like many of the other seniors, I am freaking out about getting into the college of my dreams.
I am applying to many top liberal arts colleges such as, Amherst, Smith, Swarthmore, ect.,
It is safe to say that my gpa is solid, 4.3 overall, and my extracurricular activities define what kind of person I am. My track record in community service is great and I play sports. The only problem is that i got a REALLY low score on my SATS. I just read a post where someone got a 1900 on their SATS and they were freaking out so where does that leave me since I did only got a 1590, but I plan on taking them again come October, and I am taking classes. </p>
