<p>no I didn’t; my teachers and guidance counselor indicated to me that if I was to be rejected, it would not be because of that. my achievements on the national level (page, etc) and my distinctions would help to balance that out, in addition to my clear indications that I am a journalism major and everything else is is strong support of that.</p>
<p>I understand the strong emphasis on testing scores - because it is a large part of the process - but if you look at the rest of the scores and the things I’ve done, is it really so indicative of failure? Someone once told me admissions was like a decathalon or some other athletic event - it’s more the summation of a lot of aspects than one specific thing. I am definitely not trying to be cocky, because I know that nothing is given with that 600, but I’m a bit confused.</p>
