<p>Spelman: Reach</p>

<p>Did you look for test-optional colleges yet?</p>

3

<p>No, I have not. I just feel like maybe everything else will back me up since my English teacher told me my “essay writing is on a college level, if not higher.”</p>

4

<p>If you get your test scores up (by a lot), you would definitely be in.</p>

5

<p>You might have a chance at Brandeis or at Wake Forest…</p>

6

<p>And why might I have a better chance at those colleges? From the stats I compared, those test scores are no where near similar to mine. So how would that be better??</p>

7

<p>Okay, thanks.</p>

8

<p>By the way Catria, I didn’t ask for colleges that YOU think I should apply to. But thank you for your unsolicited advice :)</p>

9

<p>However, if you feel that, somehow, Brandeis or Wake Forest is for you, refrain from sending test scores. They’re test-optional schools.</p>

<p>Spelman is a reach but could become a match if you can raise that test score.</p>
