Do i compete within the same highschool?

My highschool is in texas however doesnt rank. Im thinking of applying cs but like 200/500 are all applying cs. Do i compete with them? I feel like I have much better chances compared to someone coming from a normal high school but everyone in my hs has the same top level ecs.

2 Low sat scores compared to a high sat score

So idk how but I have a 1580 superscore but my normal score has never passed 1500.

My 2 scores are
670 English 800 Math 1470 total
780 English 720 Math 1500 total

Im applying engineering so should I submit only the 1470?
Or should I submit both? I heard that UT disregards the other scores and mainly looks at the highest score. I want to make sure they dont think im bad at math or smth for engineering if i submit the 1500 and 1470

Oneprep and 1600.lol

How do these sites get questions from collegeboard question bank onto their site? Isn’t it illegal?

took sat 7 times, superscore 1560. How does it work for MIT?

I know MIT superscores but also asks for all scores.

My very first test i got a 800 math but never again. I got worse math scores in later tests (like 720 somehow on one test). My english was also inconsistent but most recent one was 760. Would this look bad?

Im an incoming senior and Im pretty sure I have bad rec letters

I plan to apply to basically all the t20s.

I have 2 rec letters so far:

School principle who helped me with something and said he would give me a really good letter

A school teacher who said he can write a strong academic letter but not one that has my personal features and qualities.

Firstly, how many recs do I need at all? Is it possible to get rec letters as a senior in like 2 months?

1500 sat with an 800 math

Im thinking of applying csb or ecb. My school doesnt rank and the avg sat score is 1450. My ecs and awards are good i think but everyone from my school is good too.

I used to be top 6 percent in my old school which was 9th and 10th grade but i moved to a dif school in texas that doesnt rank.

academic dishonesty

i was falsely accused of academic dishonesty and it goes on my record. My counselor said shes forced to write sbout it “school policy”.

I did everything to prove my case but they wont accept it.

I was thinking about writing this in my essay for college apps of smth i feel was unfair and how I grew from it.

Is that a good idea?
I felt like I had a pretty good chance a t20 without it but now this happened

How hard is it to get the accusation down? I heard the office is “bias” against students and usually always supports professors

How does it work
