<p>So I know my test scores aren’t so stellar and I bombed a couple of APs (both in the same week, which happened to be one of the worst weeks of my life…) but I really love writing/humanities and I’m hoping that my essays will reflect that…I’m also going to do an interview in a couple weeks so I hope that will also give the admissions staff a better picture of me as a person/student as opposed to words on paper.</p>
