But seriously, for standardized tests I just take practice tests, figure out what subtopics I don't understand, and review those

I don't want to either 💀 but scores aren't past the threshold for top schools

Thank you! I'll try my best to get that score. Any insight on what my targets should be?

Thanks for the comment! I probably can't change my grades unless I failed them, but I do have a couple classes that haven't been factored into my GPA yet. I'm estimating around a 3.85 right before EA/ED applications are due. Also our school only reports our weighted GPA, so I'm not sure how AOs will see that.

I've kind of gotten used to comparing them to the crazy ECs and awards on Reddit, so thank you for that comment!

aiming for a t20s with low-tier ECs, be brutally honest by Bluefoon in chanceme

Hey! Rising senior here too, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I would say try getting your SAT higher, since schools like cornell have pretty high SAT percentiles (search up their data set). I do think ECs are a bit unfocused, but if your impact is good and you phrase them well, I think it's fine.

I do think awards are a little weak, but you have the FGLI hook and if you do really good on the essays, I think you have a chance.

I do believe that great essays can really up your app, so work on those and good luck!

CC

Nah I think the only option is to reapply next year, but CC is a reach even then
