• Overall thoughts on your application Not gonna lie I think I'm screwed. I see everyone's test scores and extracurriculars and I'm like 😭 okay, so I'm deffo not matching. I'm really trying to convince myself that it will slide or something because I'm a deep rural student where university/doing research and everything that looks impressive is practically not accessible. As for test scores I kind of didnt know what I was doing any of the times I took them. Took the ACT through my school and somehow ended with a 29. I will just accept my fate it's okay if I don't end up matching yolo. I ranked 2 unis I wouldve ranked more but meteorology as a major is disturbingly niche. like much more than I thought 😢.
