UMiami Early Action= DEFINITELY AND SCHOLARSHIP MONEY, RDI= DEFINITELY
UGA= IDK..BUT I'D ASSUME YOUR IN
Emory EA= DEFINITELY, RD= PRETTY MUCH IN
BU= DEFINITELY!
VANDY= SAME WITH EMORY
UF= HARD TO TELL, THERE WEIRD WITH ADMISSIONS
UVA= CRAPSHOOT, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS.
GEORGETOWN= POSSIBILITY

Only thing that may ruin some of your admission decisions are your average SAT scores, though a 33 is in the 1400s I think.

I think I will just send the ACT score...as long as they don't need SATII"s which are lousy.
I forgot to put 4 years of Varsity tennis team.
Thanks, Bruins...

i'd disagree with BruinsJEW.

I don't know why he thinks there's a chance you woudln't get into UGA or UF or UVA. you've gotta be in at all those places. The only one i'd question is georgetown. your gpa, rank, and ACT are really high, and if admissions were solely based on those three things, you could potentially get in anywhere. However, your EC's aren't the most astounding in the world, but they don't really have to be to get into Georgetown. Just make sure your essays are good and really stand out from the rest, even from the first sentence.

I should of probably said that I'm not sure with UGA admissions because I never really looked into that school or researched it...and a 31 ACT might not cut it for UVA and/or UF out of state.

I am instate for UF and I thank you for your opinions.
Can anyone answer this? How do I only put the ACT score on the app if it asks what tests have you taken? Do I just put in the dates of the SAT and not send the scores and the date of the ACT and send the scores?
So many people have told me to not send the SAT, but how exactly is that done? Thanks

Depending on your high school, it may already be on the transcript. If not, some universities require you to submit online. However, if your SAT scores are not on your transcript, you're in luck. Just submit your ACT scores online.
