<p>Advice (feel free to take it or leave it)
- take the SAT. While your ACT score is really good, the Ivy League/ top tier seem to like the SAT more. They claim to accept both equally, but unless you have an amazing story or activity, nobody gets in on just the ACT.
-is there anything you can do about your GPA? Because pretty much every school looks at your GPA from freshman year up. The transcript is the most important part (which looks good for you), and the GPA is often categorized with it.
-I feel like you’re the type of person for whom the essays will make or break or you. </p>
<p>Good luck =)</p>
