<p>@T26E4, I have considered Questbridge, but my scores are way too low to possibly stand a chance. I made an account and have checked out the essays, but my scores won’t cut it. Many people have told me to consider, but I doubt that I will get selected. As far as the tardiness, please ignore that, I didn’t include it for any particular reason. </p>
<p>@zephyr15, I really appreciate your feedback. As far as my test scores go, they are probably extremely low, because I barely prepped before I took them. I was enrolled in an SAT course last fall which utilized the Kaplan materials, but I didn’t do as much studying on my own time as I should have. I personally feel that there’s room for a major score improvement especially if I study hard for the next couple of months. I may just drop the October ACT all together and just focus on the SAT; I find the ACT difficult mainly, because of the timing. I can’t stand the fact that they are the complete opposite of my academic performance and it kills me to know that, because everyone has such great scores on here. I often find myself lacking the drive to study, because I lack faith that I will boost my score; I get very discouraged. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to boost my scores as of right now, because I really would like to get accepted to some of the non-act optional schools on my list. Could I get into any of them with an 1800 - 1900? (except Plattsburgh and test-optional) That’s my main question in this thread. I personally don’t think that my poor performance on the standardized tests will affect my academic abilities at Bowdoin, Bates, Middlebury or any other school I listed. I work very hard in school and just about all of my teachers tell me that I’m a highly motivated student; this is why I’m not worried about recommendations.</p>
