<p>How is a low 3.9 UW GPA low??!! You seem very solid and your stats are good for a junior</p>

<p>I have no idea why you’re retaking the SATs. If you’re from a school in northern VA then you will be at a disadvantage in that you will be competing with your fellow classmates for those schools.</p>
