[ b]General Comments & Advice:**
Never let your grades slip. Never run away from stress. If you have no one to help you, attempt with every ounce left in you to help yourself. If you are religious, pray and meditate. You can never accomplish anything if you don’t push your limits. Thank, care about, and remember those who helped you.
I thought my SAT was low and it’s a 1390 ( 720 M 670 W). And did you get any merit aid?
