<p>Thanks for taking the time to look at what I have to say, first of all!</p>
<p>I am a male living n Southern California. I was born in a small country in the Balkans called Kosova and moved to the United States because of war. My family income is less than $20,000, as can be expected from the available dead end jobs my parents have endured as a result of having elementary schooling only and not speaking English. I have an eye condition known as nystagmus which makes reading at times a challenge and tennis brutally difficult. I speak English (obviously), Spanish (at an AP level, Albanian, and have been learning Arabic.</p>
<p>I am looking for some advice because I really do not know anyone who has gone to xollege or can help me. Maybe you can!</p>

<p>I am a 2013 Questbridge College Prep Scholar.</p>
<p>My problem: </p>
<p>I obviously want to take my SAT again, but there is a problem. I want to apply to universities through the Qestbridge National Match program for Seniors. Some of those universities however require at least two subject tests. I want to take Math II and U.s. History. See the problem? I can either take these subject Tess in November or retake the SAT. Which should I do? I am studying for the ACT, though. </p>
<p>What should I do that would most benefit me?</p>
<p>Also, how are my chances at say UPenn or USC or Stanford (the school I really want to get into through the Questbrdge program)? And Manu the UCs like UCB and UCLA?</p>
<p>ANY advice would be of help! If you read all of this, thank you. And if you can help me thank you even more!</p>
