<p>About me:
I was born in a small country in the Balkans named Kosova. I escaped the war in my homeland as a refugee to America. My family settled near my uncle, who had lived in the U.S. earlier and helped with the paperwork, in Southern California. I speak Albanian in addition to English, obviously. I have been learning Spanish since 7th Grade. Being Muslim, I began to learn Arabic in 6th grade. My family income is <$22,000 a year. I have an eye condition known as nystagmus which was aggregated by third world care in Kosova. It makes reading dififcult at times and tennis a challenge, although I seemed to have gotten better but will be crushed next year by those fast hitting Varsity players. </p>
<p>SAT: 2050 (CR: 630, M: 760, W: 660) - June
First time: 1900 (CR: 610, M: 680, W: 610) - May</p>
<p>Advice?
I was really glad to get over the 2000 mark! It meant a lot to me, but I believe it’s still low. Should I go for another try? I mean during the year I was busy with APs and competitions and the rest. I think I can get it up to 2100+ with practice during summer. But, I heard taking the SAT 3 times seems desperate. I want to apply to Questbridge schools through their National Match program. Do you believe my score can be compensated by everything else? I think I’m going to take the ACT. Should I? Do you believe I can become a Questvridge National Match Finalist and be matched with my dream, Stanford?</p>
