<p>Wait, how are you taking the SAT on October if it’s November already? And how is winning competitions this summer going to help you if the application’s due before that? Do you intend to take a year off after you finish high school?</p>

<p>Oops. Sorry, I kind of pasted this thread from a previous one and forgot to update it. I had an issue with taking the October SAT( Crew obligations) so I have to take the December one. I also sent in a few portfolios for a few Writing Contests/scholarships this summer but I’ve yet to hear from them. Any other feedback.</p>

<p>As a HS senior, I really don’t feel qualified to tell you what your chances are. You should let them know what happened your junior year that got you a 3.0 GPA. It would also help if you had some 4s or 5s on AP tests.</p>
