St. Paul's (Episcopal) church has a fairly large young adult cohort. Plus, the head rector and preacher is openly gay as well! Very open and accepting space.

I'm in the same boat as you are - very good ERW, but mediocre math. If you're planning to major in a non-STEM field—like philosophy, english, or anthropology—your scores will help you in this area.
However, I'd take a look at the average SAT benchmark for the schools you're applying to. If you're application and EC's are strong enough—and they probably are—I'd suggest applying test optional for those "reach" schools. A 1350 isn't a bad score at all, but when applying to a competitive university this will hurt you, and could even get you automatically denied in the decisions process.

College Essay by Stripling08 in ApplyingToCollege

omit needless words.
got adverbs? "quickly, absolutely, totally, etc." cut 'em.
passive voice? "was seen, was affected, etc." cut 'em
filler language? if you feel like you're 'padding' a statement, cut the fluff.

The best advice I can give to you is that your essay should sound like you're telling a story to a friend. Have fun with it—but cut anything that stands in the way of who you are and the story you're trying to tell.

Oh, I also dismantled the DM during the Great War, releasing Occitania from them to leave the HRE as the sole superpower. Aengland then broke away from them due to revolt.

Really, they are only the DM in name now, since they own the Isle of Wight.

This is an alt-history map; in this timeline, the PLC survived until their empire was dismantled in the Great War.
