<p>I don’t know much about the schools you listed but it would be good for you if you didn’t send the AP Biology Score…you will definitely have to have a higher score on the SAT. Hopefully the one you just took is higher.</p>

6

<p>Your gpa may be a little low, but your test scores are good and you have enough EC’s if you ask me. I think you’ll get into Irvine.</p>

<p>Your upward trend will help. I do not know if these schools require essays, but if they do, open your heart and discuss how you went to 7 schools and the family problems, but at yor young age you have overcomed the obstacles.</p>

<p>Many colleges do not take the SAT W in consideration, instead use their essays to make a determination.</p>

<p>7 schools in 9 yrs of education is traumatic, and the fact that you are now stabilized in one school can also be seen how during those yrs you kept reinventing yourself by still getting involved in the community at a young age.</p>

<p>Don’t lose hope! Your stats aren’t that bad. :)</p>

<p>Let those colleges know about your experiences and it’ll all work out! don’t worry be happy…all that matters is that you get a good job after college!</p>

<p>thank you guys so much! i really appreciate your opinions :slight_smile:
The budget cuts are really making me doubt how many colleges i will get into… anyone else feelings pressured by the budget cuts, especially after seeing last year’s acceptances/ rejections?</p>
