Test scores vs. GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi all, took the ACTs for the first time today, and after weeks of preparation, I don’t think I did all that well (29-30 maybe?). Last year, I took the SATs and got a 2000 (again, after a ton of prep). I explained to my parents my issue and found myself very frustrated because I don’t feel my test scores reflect the work I put into high school. I have a 4.0 GPA, I’m in the top 5 in my class of 200, I have taken/am taking 6 APs, and received a 5 and 3 on last year’s tests. I have numerous extracurriculars, and my letter of rec are all fantastic. I want to apply so some moderately selective schools (UVA, UNC, Hopkins, ND, PSU) and I’m very frustrated because I don’t feel my scores will show these schools how much frickin work I put into school. Someone help me out
