<p>You and I are in a similar situation.</p>

<p>Your ECs are slightly better than mine.</p>

<p>We have to raise our SAT scores.</p>

<p>The heart defect might benefit you… it’ll show that you have perseverance and determination.</p>

<p>with a 1920 and outside 10% you won’t be able to get in. perhaps if you raised the sat to 2050+ and maintained the gpa while getting good recs and writing developed essays you will make nu a closer reach. good luck</p>

<p>I wouldnt even bother sending your sat scores unless they go way up. your act score is better, still try to get either of the test scores up. Also, you want to let the admissions people know who you are…include a lot of the major ec you were in. People get confused with that. You should ihnclude pretty much every thing you did but only highlight the major events of each ec.</p>
