Graduated

1. retake
2. when did you apply?

I'm applying at the moment. I've already sent in some applications, but I'm just curious since it'll take a while.

It's late to apply; retake june, apply next cycle. For now, I predict:

Lewis and Clark - IN
University of Oregon - IN
UC Davis - IN
UC Hastings - IN
University of Hawaii - ?
University of Washington - OUT
University of Connecticut - IN
University of San Diego - IN
University of Wisconsin - OUT
Boston University - OUT
Minnesota - OUT
George Washington - OUT

edit: odds should improve greatly if you apply early next cycle

FWIW, with a 160/3.9 and applications at this time last year I was WLed at L&C, in at Oregon with a small scholly, out at Washington.

If you are interested in West Coast, I would throw an app to Seattle U. Wake Forest also accepted me and this year they've given some people with your number small scholarships.

Well, short-sighted as it may seem

I love the country and I'm miserable when I don't have a lot of trees around me. I love trees. Sadly I got stuck applying two months later than I thought I would be due to extremely lazy professors who took 3 months to write my letters of recommendation.

You are golden at Oregon. Yeah, my apps were late last year because of LOR delays.

I know you don't want to, but retaking seriously changed my options and I don't regret it. Even 3 points would make a huge difference in your options + schollys!

Well, if my school results turn out poorly, I probably will end up retaking it, but when I started studying again, I was doing far, far worse than when I last took the test. Not sure what happened, but it just wasn't quite working out after that.

retake.. and ED to uva next year.
