🔹 GPA
🔹 The classes you take
🔹 Extracurriculars
🔹 Recommendation letters
🔹 Your essay

💡 SAT Tip 💡
Semicolons can be helpful when you're reading passages because they often indicate that the second part of the sentence is saying the same thing in a slightly different way. One part of the sentence may help you understand more clearly what the other is saying.
If it’s safe, we’ll provide weekend SAT administrations every month through the end of the calendar year, beginning in August. This includes a new administration on September 26.
Registration for these SAT dates will open the week of May 26.
Plan ahead! If you're taking the SAT this year, be thoughtful about when you test so you get your scores back well before college application deadlines.
