You’ll probably hear this a lot, but scores aren’t everything. Plus, considering you’ve only taken one SAT subject test so far… I’m sure if you ended up getting, say, a 2300+ on the SAT and 750+ on your subject tests, people would be singing a different tune. Unfortunately, too many people’s eyes are drawn straight to test scores when chancing.

Also note that the OP is a current junior. Not a lot of people have a buttload of APs by then. Speaking of, what’s your class load like this year/next year?

If you work hard to up your GPA, do well on your standardized tests, and remain passionate about your ECs, I think you’ll have a shot. Write some stellar essays, too (definitely try to start in the summer). And make good relationships with your teachers/counselors.

All easier said than done, right? Haha. Just don’t give up. (: You’ll never know if you don’t give it a shot.
