I do Certamen too! (I’m the myth and daily life person.)

Generally, colleges look at your application “holistically,” meaning that they don’t single out sections. They look at your application (which should be a masterpiece, a portrait of you by the way), trying to get a sense of who you are, and they make their decisions on that. Or at least that’s how University of Chicago does it. I’m sure that there are some schools that just say “2.9. Too low. Reject.” You might want to e-mail the admissions officers. Later, though. Not during application-reading season!

P.S. Did you go to Nationals a few years back? Were you wearing lobster hats?
