<p>I'm sure there is more stuff I could put but this is not a bad chunk of it. Thank you for reading and replying.</p>
<p>At the moment I was mostly looking at U of Chicago, Washington U at St.Louis, and St Johns College, but I’m trying to keep looking at everyone.</p>
<p>In my opinion, I would re-take the ACT. Other than that, your EC’s are flawless and your GPA is pretty good.</p>
<p>either retake the ACT or take the SAT (which, if the PSAT is any indication, it looks like you’ll do well on). everything else looks really good.
are Honors U.S. History AP and Honors English Lang AP honors or AP classes? or are they like pre-AP?</p>
<p>
I wouldn’t put this on your app. your accomplishments will speak for themselves. this sounds more like bragging.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>As far as your test scores go your good, your GPA may be a little on the low side, but not much. I would retake the act to see if I could get a better score. Other than that you should be able to get into a good college.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for the feedback. I will be taking the SAT and the ACT(again) before the school year is over. Yeah, the biggest problem is the GPA, but I had an IEP (Individualized Learning Plan) for most of my schooling because I had Lead poisoning as a child so I was in normal and remedial classes freshmen year. This caused me to not really try at all and I had like a 3.0 freshmen year. After Freshmen Year I managed to get some freedom with those MAP scores and getting a perfect on the Scholastic Reading Catalouge.</p>
<p>StressedOutt, they are these awkward looking classes that are AP, Honors, and ACC, but they don’t force you to take the AP test, and you don’t have to take them for Accelerated College Credit, so the course title has like five slashes in it. Not only that, they are also combined into a two hours class that is co-taught to try to bring Literature and History together, it is pretty trippy.</p>
<p>Hopefully I can Improve my test scores a good amount, I had a lopsided score on the ACT so if I focus I think I can raise it into the 30s. I got a good score on the PSAT and hopefully that will carry over to the real SAT but it is also just a few days before my AP tests.</p>
<p>So do you guys think I might be able to get into U of Chicago or WashU? I’m really good at essay writing too and stand out fast with the EC’s, the fact that I’m a Pagan(everyone in my family essentially has a different religion, etc. Thank you guys again.</p>
