<p>I am a high school Senior who placed in the 26% and got a 1320 Math + Reading score on the SAT. Take note, my school is fairly competitive and well-known for academics. I lack extracurricular activities, however, I have been taking some form of music lessons (piano/guitar) throughout my term in high school. Also, all of my core classes have been PreAP/AP and I obtained 4’s on the AP US and World History exams. I forewent taking the AP English III test due to my interest in the Dual Credit classes offered at my high school. At the moment, I have A’s in the college level course. I haven’t acquired a job as of yet, but I am considering the idea. I am just shy of auto-acceptance with regards to class rank.
This worries me. Also, how important are the essays? Thanks for the time.</p>
<p>Bump just want one person</p>
<p>If your school is really well known like super famous then it’s definitely okay to miss top quarter by 1%! </p>
<p>Just make sure to write a really kickass essay 
and try to stretch out those extracurriculars even if they’re really little maybe get a teacher rec ?</p>
<p>In-state or out?</p>
<p>In-state. Residency and whatnot</p>
