<p>bump for help please</p>

<p>Don’t submit your SAT if it doesn’t go up to a 1950+
I think with your 30 ACT and top 10% rank you have a great shot at getting in</p>

<p>thank you, however when i took the sat i had no sleep the night before and halfway through just started selecting the first answer i thought was right. im convinced i can atleast get a 2000 next time.</p>

<p>how do i get more responses for opinions?</p>

<p>wait for someone else to respond</p>

<p>i mean getting to the top of the forum page</p>

<p>oh i see welllll thanks for the help</p>

<p>Chance threads early in a junior year are largely meaningless. You had straight A’s your freshman year, but almost straight B’s your sophmore year in the core academic courses. Apparently you had an epiphany over the summer and will now earn all A’s again for the next two years.</p>

<p>Your test scores are mediocre. Post again after you have actually brought them up. Promises to study for improvement and excuses about why they are low are useless.</p>

<p>The colleges on your list are almost entirely driven by grades and test scores. Don’t worry about EC’s (beyond the personal satisfaction and enjoyment that they bring you) since these schools won’t look at them.</p>
