Perhaps you misread my transcript- I’m taking AP Calculus BC and AP Biology senior year. I’m also taking a Neurobiology course at Harvard this summer and a college level Organic Chemistry course during my senior year, and have done extensive biological research. Systems level programming and Software development are also considered college level mathematics courses. My school does not rank its students since we all fall on the higher end of the distributional curve for academic achievement (elite exam school). A student ranked 500th out of a class of 900 students might easily be valedictorian at any other school. However, I’m fairly confident I’m in the top 25%, if not the top 10%. I’d also like to point out that the Honors Physics course I took is equivalent to an AP Physics B course.</p>

Hm, I wasn’t aware of this. Could you substantiate your argument? I’m not going to take your statement at face value. You might assume that it’s easy to build one but that may only be true in the small sample of people from which you’re basing this conclusion on.</p>

Not really worried about safeties, that’s why I didn’t really list them here. Also, according to statistics on the MIT site, my SAT scores fall within the middle 50% for accepted students. An admissions counselor from Yale told me that once you’re in the middle 50% they really don’t care about standardized test scores, so I’m not too worried about that.</p>
<p>Thanks to all for the criticism/comments.</p>
