^ The “scary grades” actually referred to elementary school. Since middle school my record has been strong. The school I go to now is a private boarding school and gives an A+ to grades 97 and above. So I have a 4.12 out of a total of 4.33 relative to my school.

@ 2college2college, about half the schools I will apply to will be test optional to some degree. And like many things, the one I happen to want the most is proving the most challenging (do to selectivity, of course).

I guess it just really comes down to how I’m veiwed as an applicant and whether or not they will let that score slide.
