<p>You’re extremely well qualified. You just never know with the ivies. Youve worked hard just think positive! </p>

<p>Chance me please!</p>

<p>thanks,</p>

<p>quick question for anyone who’s out there: september ACT scores come out soon and i am hoping to get a 35 or 36. if i get this score, should i send both ACT and SAT scores or only act? because i feel like my SATs are too low and might contradict my ACT scores.</p>

4

<p>Well your SAT score converts to a 33 on the ACT (approximately). Nonetheless, I think you should send in both because you recieved a perfect math score on the SAT. But if you get the perfect ACT score, maybe you should just send that in. (: It’s all up to you!</p>

<p>thank you! i’m praying for that perfect ACT score.</p>

<p>I would say you’re extremely qualified, and being from Tennessee and doing ED definitely help. One question though, are you a U.S. permanent resident or citizen? Being international may make a huge difference.</p>
