First of all, you’re only a freshman. You have so far to go and you learn so much that helps you in the next few years that is so beneficial to your SATs. Plus there is just a natural increase in your scores. From freshman to sophomore year I think I improved my score by 40 points on the PSAT (that’s 400 points on the SAT) and I didn’t even study. Relax. Take a deep breath. Put your head between your knees if necessary. It will all be okay.

Also, everyone who applies to Harvard has “perfect scores” and “a perfect GPA”. It’s your ECs and essays that help you stand out. I mean it’s good to have good SAT scores but it’'s also just as important to go out and have fun! How else are you going to get the experiences to write those kick butt essays?!
