Good luck! And respectfully, no, 1 sitting doesn't matter. Why would it? Schools don't know if kids get their scores in one sitting or superscored after six.
Schools do know, since Common App asks for test dates. I don't think it matters that much, but one sitting might help at the margins. My kids added a note that his 36 ACT was in his one and only sitting.
No, don’t do stuff like that. Comes across as “I’m better than your other 36 scorers.” Not a good look.

100% not getting in unless the ECs are really niche.
DP. Did anyone ask for your prediction?
Too bad, they shouldn’t have wasted their ed on a school that doesn’t want DC area students. If you want an lac, go to Williams or Amherst.
Fewer students apply to Pomona from this area, so maybe it actually helps. Amherst and Williams get lots of DMV/Mid-Atlantic applicants.

Michigan and BC are not LACs. Reading comprehension!

No, I'd feel v confident here.
I wonder about the BC person. Top 25% doesnt get it done where we are - but I suspect they're at a stronger HS.
