<p>Hey! I’m a fellow applicant as well ^_^</p>

<p>If I were you I would try to do some AP classes (or IB if your school offers it). It looks slightly better with not so high grades.</p>

<p>Ugh, the dastardly SAT. I have the same score. Just study your butt off and you’ll do a bit better. :)</p>

<p>As of right now I would say it’s a reach, BUT some majors require you to do interviews (or something like that…), so keep that in mind, it could save you</p>

<p>Good luck!
I hope that we both hear good news from Emerson when we apply :slight_smile:
I plan on visiting in a few weeks, so i’m ready to be blown away as well :)</p>
