Hi everyone! First off, I would like to say thank you to all of you who came across this post, I hope you reply.

I am currently a senior in high school right now and I have started applying to colleges. My top choice is SCU. However, my test scores aren’t the best :frowning: I get really anxious. Is there anything I can do to raise them? Any tips/advice?

Also, my gpa is a 3.688, I have taken a lot of pre-AP and AP classes, I am in the top quarter of my class and an AP scholar, I’m also in the top quarter of my class and involved in several clubs and honor societies in my school. I am in the midst of starting a club at my school. I am also a part of my city’s youth council and I work with the mayor and other elected officials to help make our city better. Is there any way I can get in?

Any tips and advice will be helpful! Thank you :slight_smile:

It is a great university! My daughter was admitted last year and will attend this year. You sound like you have a good application with the exception of test scores. I suggest to use your essays to highlight your strengths and explain the weaknesses. It also doesn’t hurt to focus on studying for the test that you prefer and take it a couple more times before decisions are made. Good luck!
