<p>Hmmmm… ACT score will probably go up, and I would lean more that way than SATs…But that said, very impressive EC’s. You haven’t said anything about AP’s or SAT 2s which these colleges will probably look for but what you do have is excellent. Best of luck!!!</p>

<p>Thank you!
I will take SAT 2’s in November
As for APs, 3 3s, 2 4’s, 1 5…not stellar but grades in all AP Classes are A, and not too sure how much emphasis is put on AP Scores in admissions but that’s another debate lol</p>

<p>I think your GPA & test scores are too low for both these experiences.</p>

<p>@nagintapls‌ How is a 33 too low…?</p>

<p>These schools reject thousands of applicants with 35s and 36s, let alone a 33. To maximize your chance, aim for a 35+ and make sure you have straight A’s next year.</p>

<p>I will be retaking the ACT again in September.
As per the comment of a 33 being too low, please check the school’s average ACT acceptances before stating that opinion. @nagintapls‌ </p>

<p>@ijustwantsuccess‌ Yeah, you’re right. Forgive me for offering my opinion, which is the point of the chances threads. If you know the school’s average stats, then why are you posting on here to begin with? </p>

<p>Anyway, your extra curricular activities are pretty stellar. You have a good chance.</p>

<p>Sorry for being cynical and thanks for your opinion. I’m definitely shooting for a higher score with the logic you presented about ACT Scores. Thanks again :slight_smile:
