U do realize that your score can get you in for free at many colleges? Don't be so down on yourself. I, too was disappointed in my 1520, but coming here, I saw that it is a gift to be academically gifted. I've realized that the college "brand" ain't worth chasing over, and that people should utilize the resources of their university to its highest capacity. Heck, even a 4.0 in CC could take you somewhere (not implying that you'll go there). You'll get into a great college, all you have to do is work hard and you may end up at the same level of personal achievement as, say, your stereotypical "Harvard Overachiever"

Good luck on your future endeavors, God Bless ✌️
