@monochrome13 Do you know how to speak Tagalog! Kababayan! :slight_smile: Your EC’s are impressive, and how was your Teacher’s Recommendation?

Your stats are definitely on par, with test scores a little on the low side. For AAP, it comes down to the portfolio a lot more than the numbers though.

@thatbibliophile‌ sadly, i don’t speak the language :frowning: and thanks! my teacher recommendations were good - i got an excellent one from my art teacher whom i’ve known for 10 years (my first and last art teacher) and another really good one from my economics teacher who really knows me well too. :slight_smile:

thanks @lolcats95‌ :slight_smile: also i just got my December ACT scores and it went up to a 33!
