<p>General Comments:
So far I'm probably apply as a history major with a economics minor (maybe a double major in history and economics). I'm definitely retaking the SAT I again in October and hoping for a 2100. Also probably only sending in my SAT II scores for Mandarin and History and withholding the Computer Science AP score. Would that be a good idea? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>They all seem to be reaches. If you apply to one of them, you're likely to get into one or two. I'd personally add a few safeties though.</p>

<p>As for what you plan to do with the exams - sounds like a good idea.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm applying to the UCs as well (UCI, UCSD, UCD, UCR, and UCLA) but ideally I would love to go to one of those colleges I listed.</p>

<p>bump...thanks!</p>
