The Testing Blues...

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>What can I say? I’m bad at standardized testing. I studied my butt for both the SAT and the ACT and they’re still just… mediocre. I’m confident in pretty much everything but these scores. I want to apply to Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. Which seems rather impossible right now with these scores. As an Asian from Nevada, should I still try to apply?</p>

<p>Other schools of choice:
American U
Boston U
Boston C
Johns Hopkins
George Washington U
U of Nevada Reno
U of Chicago</p>

<p>GPA:3.78
Rank: 14/473
