Thank you so much for taking the time to read this And I would really appreciate any feedback!
 
Need to significantly improve your test scores.

Need to move I to the top 10% of your class (GA is competitive).

It is a small school, so I would expect more Extracurricular leadership positions.

Athletics are fine.
 
ACT/SAT

These standardized tests can elevate your WCS to a more campetetive range. You must take them at every opportunity. With most cases, you will find a plateau after 3 or 4 times. At this point you will need to seek external help to bring these scores up. It is very important to bring these scores into the 32/730 range


Push Hard, Press Forward
 
Thank you both for your feedback! Next year I plan on taking challenging courses and hope to move into the top ten percent. My school actually does not offer many leadership roles, however next year I am campaigning for the national honor society president and a position in the student government. Also I am studying very hard for the next Sat so hopefully I can bring that up. Based on my stats so far, do you think I would be a good candidate?
