INTOTHEBEST's Blog

It is actually interesting that this is the question, because one of my friends was in a similar situation. Although she had excellent grades, a long list of activities, and was an amazing person, she couldn’t get the SAT scores that she wanted/needed. Although we tried to help her and tell her that it wasn’t completely necessary for college, she was still down. It was just important that every time I saw her I would bring up the good things about her- what a great friend she was, her great grades, her athleticism, etc. After a while she started focusing on the good things and wasn’t so worried that her test scores were not up to her personal standards.
