<p>Dear all CC members and helpers,</p>
<p>Last year, I signed up for College Confidential with questions about my future and the SAT, with no clue of what this path would lead me to. Today, exactly one year later, my entire life has changed. Without the advice of you all (shoutout to the amazing @halcyonheather), I would be stuck in a situation with a low GPA, no ECs, and a very low SAT score. Your tips and advices have been invaluable for me; for scale, let's look at my 9th grade schedule and SAT score before I was on CC and did what I thought was capable of doing. </p>
<p>Biology
Algebra 2
Spanish III
Pre-IB English
Pre-IB World History
Art</p>
<p>SAT Score: 1520</p>
<p>After worthy hours of exploring and investigating, I transformed. All the discerning tips given, specific questions asked, and thoughtful advice provided have completely changed me and my potential. </p>
<p>It is my belief that this website has saved me from ultimate inadequacy; I just think to how much a student can be motivated and pushed by the standards of this forum. The high levels of the students in this forum has driven me to a completely new thought process in both my work and my life. </p>
<p>You guys are incredible, inspirational individuals that deserve all the success any person can get. For all those reasons, I would like to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. I went from the dreary 9th grade schedule above to the impressive 10th grade schedule below:</p>
<p>APUSH
AP Bio
AP Macro/Gov
AP Stat
Pre-Calc H
IB Spanish SL (=AP)
Pre-IB English 2 H</p>
<p>Best of all, you guys have increased my SAT score from a 1520 to a 2070 in one year. I never thought that was possible; I had lost all confidence after that first score, but you inspiring individuals have changed that. </p>
<p>Once again, thank you so much. I hope I can give so much as you all have done. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
