<p>Improve your test scores.</p>

11

<p>Is there something people don’t understand about a chance? I’m not asking what more I can do I’m asking in this moment in time what are my chances for these schools</p>

12

<p>I think your test scores are a little low for Lafayette. You should look at their Common Data Set from the most recent year. You can google that. Some of these schools you would have a better chance if you ED’ed as those stats are generally lower. This is something you should talk about with your GC at your high school.</p>

13

<p>^^ I mean whether you should ED to a reach school or not.</p>

<p>Ok I’ll bring it up when I meet with him again.</p>
