I'm just wondering, r u like me and really want the times to be in sets of 5 or 10? Also tysm for the times!

[@brilovesoccer1347]

to anyone worrying about sat scores: it's not as big of a deal as colleges make it seem!! i still got into my top school with a lower sat score. i also studied for hours for them and still wasn't able to get a high score so don't feel bad if you can't either :)

[@adriennehilll]

so true!!!

[@lindseyhaley9914]

i have an 1160 and my schools middle 50 percent averages around 1200 to upper 1200s and i’m really nervous that i won’t get in. however i make mostly a’s and very few b’s. my gpa is 3.98 weighted. i’m just wondering if i have a good chance of getting in or not.

[@drowningstar]

@@lindseyhaley9914 you do! your grades && sats are not the only main factors of your application. universities want to get to know YOU, make sure your essay sets you apart. this is coming from someone in the same boat!

I just wanted to let you know that it may feel overwhelming and that the odds are stacked against you, but it’s going to be okay! Feel free to DM me @emily.dias on insta if you have any questions (big or small!) the book that helped me the most was what high schools don’t tell you (and other parents don’t want you to know) by Elizabeth wissner gross. Good luck!!
