<p>First of all, thank you for commenting on my post. Well, I can be counted for instate for UConn because I have been attending a boarding school here in Connecticut for four years. I am also instate for Rutgers because I have been living in New Jersey for nealy 14-15 years. I am sure about Drexel, Temple, AU, and SUNYs however. Also, you are right about Northwestern. My GPA and ACT are just not there. I mean, I started for at least 8 months for the ACT. I know I said 6, but if I think about it, it was about 8. I TRIED everything. Took more than a dozen practice tests, wasted my entire summer studying at the nearby library. ACT was practically my life for a while. I just have really bad test anxiety :(. All my friends and teachers tell me that I should be proud of myself because I did work hard. But, I just wish I got a 30, it just didn’t happen. My GPA isn’t THAT good compared to NU because of my 2.9 freshman year grades. My grandmother died that year and that devastated me. Should I write a supplement on how hard I tried? My upward trend is really good I think. Also, I have an amazing background in sports and writing. My essay is also very good. But, at the end of the day, my chances are once again slim. </p>
