[ b]Reflection
[ *] Strengths: GPA, Essay, good Extracurricular, I’m applying for engineering so my love for writing shows more dimensions of my personality.
[ *] Weaknesses: SAT score and could use more ECs
You’re competitive, but 20,000+ others who apply will also be equally distinguished. Were you to retake the SAT I examination and score 2250+, your acceptance opportunity would be markedly enhanced.
see the thing is i feel like i’m a poor test taker. I took Sat 1s twice and did pretty much the same on both. Eventually i just focused on doing well on subject test. But i spent 30 days writing my essay so i hope that helps me to stand out?
I truly understand, but I’m not an admissions officer . . . the essays are IMPORTANT.
