I am certainly extremely confused about college right now – it basically has taken up bean bag chairs the entire capacity of my brain for the past few months, and it likely will do the same until May 1, when at last a decision is made. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! If you score higher on your SATs (around 2250+) you’re pretty much set to go anywhere you want. Your GPA is near perfect and your extra curriculars are extremely strong. Good luck! You don’t have to worry so much, haha.
