Yea (1) how can you assume your junior year course load, (2) no one can even correlate some practice tests to a 2300+ SAT score, and (3) you’re a freshman, why in the world are you actually stressing about college.

Has you school year already ended? Are you a rising Sophomore?

I’m having a hard time interpreting this thread based on the language and the date at which you posted it.

@ninjasword975 I think no one can give you any meaningful input until you have taken the SAT ( many times how you do on practice tests is quite different from how you do on the actual test) and have your junior year GPA ( rn ur GPA doesn’t say much since you are only a frehsman, but still a 3.9 is slightly below the Penn average, let alone the M&T average. Also how can you be so sure that you will do better in the future? classes tend to get harder, you have to worry even more about sat, essays, trying to get leadership positions in ecs etc. you cant tske these things for granted. Best of luck, do the best you can and come back in two years with concrete stats and numbers and people will be able to give you meaningful feedback.
