<p>My questions/comments
1. Is it risky to only submit ACT? i'd rather not take SATs again and i do better on ACT.
2. Should I leave out my sports? they seem out of place to me and don't really contribute anything.
3. Which college is best for those unsure of their interests/major?
4. Can you tell from my information that I tried different things until I found my “niche”? I wasn't really into anything entering high school, so I spent 9th through 11th finding it. Don't know if this is a good or bad thing regarding admissions, but it was good self-exploration.</p>
<p>Thanks :)!</p>
