<p>I had mentioned in my applications - I had worked a part time job at a fast food joint to keep my family financially stable. My parents was laid off and my mom had undergone multiple heart operations and I lived in the slums of NYC. I don’t want to recite the entire momment but I hope you get the picture. It was beyond a struggle to attend school…but hey, I made it! I had to take the ACT this time…otherwise I was toast. I had mentioned this information in my college applications if it can put some sort of “significance” on my application. </p>
<p>What LAC’s did you have in mind? My ACT score is very wierd in fact…Reading 28, Math 21, Writing 13 (I DUNNO.), Essay (7), Science 15. I never studied for the exam and just went in the room unaware of the structure (Seriously). I took this past test seriously enough and tried to fix what was not my strengths. I felt confident. Also, I did not take any SAT 2’s mainly because I had no $$ whatsoever. I wish I had grown up in a better academic life…but you don’t get what you want. Oh and yes, I have taken APs all throughout HS.</p>
