<p>BTW, take macro onilne, I did FLVS macro and got a 5. I finished it in November and studied about half an hour for the exam.</p>
<p>You can get into all of these. Why aren’t ivies possible for you? Good GPA, good rank, pretty good SAT II’s and AP Scores. If you re-take the SAT I’s, it’s very possible.</p>
<p>How did you like FLVS Macro? I could probably arrange to have a period in school when I could just go on the computer and do that, so I’m really considering doing so.</p>
<p>I would say that the Ivies are out of my reach because I do not have the flawless record that a lot of others have, especially on here. I got B’s in random, absurd classes, like Algebra I, World History Honors, and Psychology I. Plus I do not think I could afford going to those schools, and I don’t see why, from their perspective, they would want to give me loads of scholarships.</p>
<p>Well, FLVS tends to theme its content a bit immaturely. Macro was themed to a tropical vacation in the Macro Islands, with you as a businessman giving a presentation to a CEO. Read the textbook and take good notes, please. I didn’t read the textbook for macro and finished with an 89.7%. (I learned my way with micro, read the textbook, and finished with a 95%.) The tests are pretty hard (I had a C test average for micro and a D average for macro), but there’s a lot of homework to boost your grade, and you can keep resubmitting homework until you get a 100.</p>
<p>Luckily, the course covers the entire AP curriculum and is very, very interesting. I didn’t know a thing about economics before taking macro and micro, and now I absolutely love the subject.</p>
<p>You don’t need an FLVS period, either. I did it outside of school, along with a robust helping of extracurriculars, and I had time to spare.</p>
<p>UF: Match
NYU: Low Reach
Vandy: Reach </p>
<p>Try and get your SAT scores up.</p>
<p>Yeah, I figured that my SAT I score would be my biggest weakness. I’ve only taken it once though, and I didn’t prep as much as I should have, so I’m going to shoot for at least a 2100.</p>
