<p>Try to raise your SAT score by 200 points, and apply for Summer B.</p>

<p>my daughter…</p>

<p>3.8 GPA (unweighted) 4.02 weighted, 1720 (new way - adding all three- YES, I KNOW, NOT VERY HIGH)
ACT -25 (i know, not the highest either) but I think she has GREAT extracurriculars / volunteering - she eventually wants to be a vet so she has mega hours with an equine vet, small animal vet and many many hours with a small private barn…and…IMHO, a pretty good essay (she hopes).
also…
National Honor Society, top 11% of her class, National Spanish Honor Society.</p>

<p>we need fin. aid as well. Decided not to apply for Summer B since didn’t think would have enough $ in time from whatever sources if accepted. So applied for fall.</p>

<p>she could be one of those “others” they actually accept that don’t have the super high test scores or highest gpa.
?? maybe…</p>

<p>good luck to everyone !</p>
