@lookingforward Yes, I’ve been working on my art portfolio since freshman year! I’m a great writer so I am confident my college essay will be a great push, I’m taking the SAT in a little more than a week, and then I’m taking an SAT for only English, and an SAT for only Spanish (both which I can score close to a 100% on). I will also be getting an internship very soon. I know my grades are not the only things which colleges are interested in - USC and UCB as well as UCLA are all tough schools to get into - but are they mainly biased according to one’s GPA and scores rather than how they execute themselves through extra curricular activities and how they showcase their personality?
