<p>Good extracurriculars but standardized testing makes it difficult for you. Schools you listed are all going to be significant reaches. What major are you applying for?</p>

3

<p>I’m hoping for higher standardized test scores…but those are not guaranteed :confused:
I’m looking at an English, Psych, or Economics major in undergrad and then hopefully I’ll go on to law school.</p>

<p>bump?

<p>another opinion please?
im adding Carnegie Mellon and possibly American University to my list.
Am I shooting too high?</p>

6

<p>Have you tried the ACT? Many students do much better on it.</p>

<p>I considered the ACT, but it has always been all about the SAT in my house.
It’s too late to prepare for a test that I don’t really know anything about.</p>
