I sort of did in the sense that it's really unhealthy for me to be such an excessive procrastinator, though I then say that my best work is my pressure work. Oh and by the way I technically started doing applications post-Thanksgiving, but in reality I didn't put anything on paper until about the second week in December in which I sent out my applications in three waves based on how much was needed for the application.

SAT scores are what I want to change the most. My GPA is okay as well as the rest of the stuff.

Extra curriculars definitely above all else... everything wouldn't be hurt by some help though.

This was actually one of my essays. I would probably not have played Hearts during Julius Caesar. Or not have totally screwed around during freshman or sophmore years. Or actually did anything those years. Actual effort would have done wonders for my GPA. I love crappy public schools-you can do what ever you want.

I definitely wish I could have concentrated on my studies to get my grades up for my freshman-sophomore years.

Definitely my SAT scores first, then my GPA and class ranking, and my extracurriculars (Awards would be nice).
