<p>As you can see, I need to slim my list down some but I'm also open to new suggestions. Thanks for the assistance!</p>

<p>i dont understand how youre taking AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC at the same time o___O</p>

<p>cus BC covers AB plus some</p>

3

<p>And two suggestions</p>

<ol>
<li>find some more safeties</li>
<li>your ECs are too scattered to show any real unique interest that you have. also, your ECS arent that strong, as none of them are anything unique that many other students are not in</li>
</ol>

4

<p>question...which week of the clemson econ thing did you go to? week 1 or 2?</p>

<p>btw, i think you definitely have the stats and ECs to match any of your schools, but who knows what the adcoms will do</p>

5

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-smaller version of ND and Georgetown-but easier to get into. HC has strong political science program with good alumni network. School is 1 hour from Boston.</p>

6

<p>actually, i take back my comment about your stats being a match for all your schools. your SATs and APs are weak (sorry for my brute honesty haha) but your gpa/class rank should bump you up in that category though</p>

7

<p>Definitely suggest a couple of safeties as you are shooting very high and this will be one of the most competitive admissions years ever due to huge number of kids born 17 years ago.</p>

<p>Thanks! As far as Calculus goes, we have two class periods of Calculus AB first semester and then those two class periods become Calculus BC second semester. Atleast thats how they teach Calculus at my school. I went to week 2 of Clemson's Economics Camp. </p>

<p>I'm definitely aiming high, but I want to reduce the size of my list.</p>
