<p>Your test scores aren’t low…
work on your essays and hope you have good recs. and you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Oh sorry, I didn’t read the SAT. If you applied with ACT then the scores would have been low. I’m just correcting myself. Good luck!</p>

<p>They’ll notice the 3s in the APs. If you want a STEM major, it may be forgiven. Have your essay and supps checked by a teacher or mentor who’s savvy re admissions- not another kid. These writings are not like hs papers. Also, make your ECs sound a bit more significant- here, we only see what you post- leading with video club and ending with one non-school thing…perhaps you can craft aeach of the ECs to show leadership committment, responsibility and results. (Eg, stand out in band? Lead the arts program? Did what for Ghana?) Any activities that were particularly challenging? A school like Brown will want to know about your strengths.</p>
