<p>So I know this is not a winning application. Not bad, but from where I come from in this area, I feel like it's pretty bad. I can't do well on standardized tests and even doing guaranteed point increases on SAT/ACT I still fail to do well. It's what I have to live with and I try but I know I could try harder but I'm not trying to get into Harvard. </p>
<p>I would love an HONEST, TRUTHFUL opinion on where I stand. Any other schools any of you could suggest would be great. I appreciate any advise, suggestions, and comments. Peace.</p>
