My ACT scores are a 31, and currently, I have taken four honors classes. Next year I am going to take 2 honors and 2 AP classes.

None of us can give you the Yes/No answer as far as admission goes.

Yes, you are on track to be a good applicant. Keep up the good work.

thank you so much! I am just feeling a little worried because of covid and stuff

Hi! I got into Barnard RD this year. Your profile looks good so far! I would focus on continuing a few main activities for all 4 years and also make sure to keep up your GPA. You have a lot of time, so I wouldn’t stress too much but just keep doing what you’re doing!

Will you get a significantly higher chance if you apply ED than regular admissions?
