Try to do as well as you can on your ACT/SATNov 19 2015Kinesiology
Try to do as well as you can on your ACT/SAT. It's not a big deal if you don't get an amazing score. If you think your scores are too low, try to add value to your application in other ways. Incorporate what you do outside the classroom, such as community service or sports. Also try to finish strong senior year of high school. I know it's tough, but just do it. Do really well on the placement tests for math and foreign language. Test out of as much as you can!!! Take as many AP classes as you can!!! I wish I would have done these things myself. Honestly, do you want to have to take Algebra, Trig, Chemistry, History, and English all over again in college? HELL NO. Pass those AP classes and entrance exams with flying colors so you can graduate early and save yourself hella money.

If you are from the north and have an ok GPA you are pretty much in. Otherwise you need to have around a B average. Be yourself writing your essay and make sure it is properly written and edited. Extracurriculars don't hurt either.
