What should I be doing to increase my chances for getting accepted into college as class of 2027 ?
Hello, I have a 3.3 GPA and a 20 ACT. I have done theater all years of highschool and am a Thespian who is also going to ITF. I have been a lifeguard for 4 years. I have a marketing internship that I got in the middle of junior year and I run and manage social media for 2 businesses that are under the same manager. I still have one more trimester before applying to college and I plan to apply early action for all colleges. These are the colleges I am applying to: PBA, UTAMPA, FAU, USF, UMIAMI. I am very worried because my ACT score is very low, but if the school is test optional I will not be submitting my score. I am wondering what I can do to better my chances and make sure I get into these colleges and maybe get scholarships too. I plan to major in marketing and minor in theater only if I get scholarship money for it, if I don't get scholarship money I will minor in advertising and social media. I have taken all the theater classes my school offers, along with many honors classes and these AP classes: APUSH (C), AP Psych (A), AP LANG (A), AP CHEM (D), and I plan to take AP Stats, another AP English, and APES. I also am taking Marketing and plan to take sports and entertainment marketing next year.

Is a 1440 SAT not enough for a major in aerospace engineering?
I am a junior, and I just received my SAT score of 1440 on my second try for March (math: 730 and reading: 710). My first try was 1410 back in September (math: 750 and reading: 660). I have been studying for at least the past three months, every day for 1 hour, alternating between reading, grammar, and math. I have also been focusing on the skills in which I have been making mistakes. I feel that I may be leveling out on my score. I would like to get to the 1500s, but now I wonder if that is possible. My parents have offered me one more chance to take the SAT to get a 1500, and I am wondering whether that is possible and what would happen if this were my highest SAT score. I understand that this is a score many people look forward to, but for me, and especially my parents, it is not enough. This has me a bit worried, as my standing in school is not excellent either (I have received 2 Cs so far). Please let me know what you think about this matter and any changes or fixes I can make.
