<p>You should consider numbering these threads. What would this be, number 8? 9?</p>

<p>I'm so sorry! For some reason I cannot seem to edit, so I have to make a whole new post. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.</p>

<p>It's not an inconvenience at all. The thing is, I think with all your nearly-identical chance threads, you should have all of the information you need to give yourself a decent estimate at your chances.</p>

<p>hmmm....ok</p>

<p>come back when u have actual SAT/ACT scores.</p>

<p>Considering I got a 29 on the first one, I don't see why I cannot move up 2 points by December...</p>

<p>All of my practice tests came out to be 32 so far.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance if you apply ED somwhere</p>

<p>Eh, that's not possible for me because Financial Aid is a big factor for me.</p>
