I go to a private school and we def. have smart people. Some end up at Ivy league and some end up at Jr. colleges. It’s a very wide range. I am ranked in top 20 out of 170 in my class and have been searching colleges. I have always said, I’m going to Harvard. I always knew it would be a far stretch for me to get into somewhere ivy league, so now I am more realistic.
I have about a 4.2 cumulative GPA, I pretty much always make A’s and maybe one B. I am involved in service and lots of clubs, and I show leadership.
I have found some good schools in the south I am interested in such as Berry, Rhodes, and Springhill. I was dead set on Berry and the scholarship I wanted requires a 29 ACT. I had been practicing ACT and usually got around 28, but my time was over.
I got a 23. I have been extremely dissappointed. People have said to try the SAT if I have time issues(my scores were higher in eng. and math on act). Should I?
AND, does anyone know of any southern schools with scholarship options that I have a shot at? And, advice on what to do on ACT to chill out during the test? bad anxiety…
