<p>@mom2collegekids: My safety is Oregon State University. I’m pretty sure I’ll get a full ride from the engineering school, based on what other people at my school have gotten, but even if I don’t, my parents can afford it. Some of the UCs are semi safeties. I’m not sure if they’re academc safeties but they are financial safeties since my dad lives in California.</p>
<p>@classicrockerdad: I thought I should retake the SAT to improve my writing score. My essay subscore was only 7. My ACT essay score was low too, though I don’t remember exactly what it was. Do you think improving my writing score will help me, or will i just look test obsessed?</p>
<p>I forgot to mention SAT 2. I got 800 on both math and physics.</p>
