<p>Excellent recommendations and apparently, superb college essay by my Expos teacher (and she's a Ed.D in English...and is address by "Dr.")</p>

<p>Take one honors class (Chamber Singers) and the rest were Level ones and two (Advance + Competitive).</p>

<p>I have pretty much the same as you do academically, a little better on SAT, but I think you have a good chance of getting in. They are really focused on a well-rounded student rather than great in only one aspect. So I think you deffinately have a great chance.</p>

<p>I'm a horrible test taker. No matter how many SAT courses, test-preps, etc.. I take, I can't ever raise my score. I had an interview with Simmons and everything. I think it went great...? She said my SAT scores were average..I'm competing for the Physical Therapy program. I probably won't get in...but it is my dream job.</p>

<p>fizzylizzy106, are you applying or did you already get in? Or are you a student there already?</p>
