<p>Here is a little background info about me. I am a high school junior/ rising senior (class of 2013) and 17 years old. I am also an african american, primarily of african descent (my parents are nigerian). Over the years I've been determining what college i want to go to and it seems that i really want to go to UGA (i have other schools in mind btw). I think i have every thing that is required for admissions (gpa, courses, etc) but i am just stumped on my SAT scores. I am a horrible test taker! fThough it was my first time taking it back in Jan., i was so disappointed by my score (1280 overall :( ). It just made me seem less intelligent than my classmates who got higher scores like 1600 and above. Now, I am by no means a genius, but this test just makes me question my intelligence. I do fairly well in all my classes, but that's just because i try and put effort into all my classes no matter how hard it is. I'm just so scared, i don't know what to do. I really want to go to UGA because they have a nice broadcast journalism program. Here is a general high school info:</p>
<p>I've taken 2 AP classes so far (lang. and U.S.) and 2 honors ( 10th grade lit/comp H, and spanish 2 H) and I will be taking AP Lit. and Spanish 3 H next year. i have at least a 3.7 or 3.8, (I'm not too sure). I've been in at least 4 clubs since high school (S.T.A.R.S, DECA, Pres. of the Female Open Forum, and Beta club). I've also done soccer for 2 years and i volunteer at my mother's hospital during the summers. I don't know if this is enough to get in, but by all means, I am willing to take the advice the you guys give me in order to increase my chances of acceptance. I would especially love to hear from UGA students. Thank you and God Bless :).</p>
<p>P.S. please no rude comments. I am really serious about my future after high school and critical responses will surely help</p>
