<p>So yeah, I think that is it? I had remained an all-A student for sooo long until Physics this year. I no longer have a 4. something GPA for my senior year, but it is still a very high B, so I am hoping colleges won’t be too turned off by that! Tell me what you guys think! I also applied for an interview, so hopefully that will boost my chances some as well. I know my ACT is on the low side, but I want to know if it would kill my chances getting in–I am hoping that my essays and rec letters will push me over the top!</p>
<p>ALSO. If anyone would like to read my out-of-the-ordinary longer essay response, let me know and I’ll message you-- I’ll read yours in return and tell you what I think!</p>
