<p>GPA is great, rigor is there, awards are more than adequate, ECs are decent, but your test scores are too low for Pratt, especially your subject tests. Either retake SAT I and II’s or try the ACT. If you’ve already applied, there’s not much you can do, though.</p>

<p>If your essay and recommendations were stellar, I’d give you a 50-50 chance.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks. I thought my essay and recs were really good, but just about everyone thinks that lol. I knew the subject tests would hurt me but I guess it’s worth a try. Anyone else have any thoughts?</p>
