<p>I think you will get into all the schools you mentioned. ECs are pretty good. So is the GPA and SAT. I would do crew another year since it could help your chances. Try applying to some Ivies, you got potential. You might want to get an internship to improve chances, espcially for top schools. Chance back?</p>

<p>Bump? Chance for chance</p>

<p>Wow. you have really good sats. Very good ECs. Although you never know with top schools, I think you have a very good chance at all you’ve mentioned. keep up the good work.</p>

<p>btw, is APUSH hard? thinking about taking it next year but not sure,</p>

5

<p>Thank you. APUSH is not hard, IMO. As long as you have a good teacher who will help you retain material well. If you have a bad teacher, you might as well be self-taught</p>

<p>@clarinetjwk its the prerequisite for AP Calc BC. such a joke of a class though, minus the fact that its half of year of precalc, and then you switch to the calculus textbook and start working with derivatives and such. Great teacher, though.</p>
