<p>bumpppp… anyone? plzzz</p>

<p>Depending on which school you’re applying to at Cornell, they may or may not require subject tests. In other words, find out which schools require them and get them taken care of in January.</p>

<p>Good luck, you do well with your colleges.</p>

4

<p>I’m applying to AEM/ILR and they don’t require them. Hopefully, it won’t be looked down upon hah thanks</p>

5

<p>You can make Cornell. Others will be tough.</p>

6

<p>K thanks. How does being Filipino affect my chances? Will it hurt me since I’m still classified as Asian?</p>

7

<p>Being Filipino won’t hurt you. It won’t help you either except at schools that are looking for any hetergeniety including Asians. If any of the schools recommend or require SAT2s, you will not likely be accepted. Your AP test scores will be useful as well as your school’s record on how well kids do on the AP if most of your AP exams will be taken senior year. How does your school tend to do with admission at those school with your test scores?</p>

8

<p>Our school isn’t known to send students to the ivy league and students just tend to go to state schools. In fact, out of 144 students only 2 people did better than me on the ACT so it isn’t a competitive school despite ranking in the top 3% of the country, which is based on US news.</p>

<p>Any more people want to chance me? I’ll chance back!</p>

<p>If you take the SAT and do half decent you will increase your chanceto getting into top schools by like 20% just from taking it</p>

12

<p>just the regular sat or sat II?</p>

<p>I think all those are matches for you man! You have a very good academic record, the Asian thing like other people stated is not going to help you or hurt you. Very impressive academic record!!</p>
