<p>why are you asking…ur in</p>

<p>lol how would you know? what do you think i should use as my hook?</p>

<p>Whatever you’re most passionate about. Whatever comes naturally for you to write about. Don’t force a hook. It looks like you won’t have to.</p>

<p>don’t retake the sats, unless you’re 100% sure you’ll improve… and even then i don’t think it would make much of a difference</p>

<p>why do you think it wouldn’t make a difference?</p>

<p>i got my satII scores back: 740 in math II & 760 in chemistry</p>

<p>Yeah, those scores are fine. What do you really think you’ll gain by retaking them? They’re high enough, and you’ll waste money and a good Saturday morning that could otherwise be spent helping homeless people. Gosh, think of someone else for a change. (kidding on the last part. internet sarcasm)</p>

<p>lol. i’m assuming you were accepted? with what?</p>

<p>With what scores?
800 verbal
700 math
750 writing
770 World History
720 US History
I don’t know if they look at your other SATIIs besides the top 3, but my others were:
670 Latin
660 Bio E
540 Writing</p>

<p>thats pretty sweet. what other **** did you do</p>
