<p>you have lots of time to get the math score up. try taking the ACT as well. some do better on one test over another.
write a passionate essay - explain how much you want it like you did in your post (maybe a bit more eloquent, and cite some examples
)
when you interview with your BGO let him/her know how much you want it. let them know that you know what you’re talking about and what you’re getting yourself into. show them that you’ve done your research and how much you want this.</p>
