<p>Hey,</p>

<p>From what i see, with URM and stuff you do, you would stand a really good chance if the SATs are upped and there’s so much writing potential in your activities.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>If these are the absolute hardest classes available to you and you improve your SAT score, you’d have a shot. I may be wrong but usually kids can take AlgII/trig as a freshman (that’s what I did).</p>

<p>Edit: Not usually, just the advanced kids do this.</p>

<p>na actually they just changed Trig and Alg 2 from Math A and Math B. We have to meet certain new york state requirements. This was the earliest I could take it and these are the hardest possible classes anyone in my school could take. How much do you guys think I should raise my SATs by??? Thanks :)</p>
