<p>The extra curriculars are all the big ones I can remember. The small ones are probably like conferences :)</p>

<p>Colleges that I want to go:
Ivies....... I wish D: (COLUMBIA!!!! is my dream school)

and so more!</p>

<p>I know that my resume does not look nice but I think I would still need to know where I stand. Please chance me! I will chance you back :)</p>

<p>Even with strong junior year grades and a 2200 SAT (if you reach that), Ivies are a stretch due to the competition. Line up safety schools just in case but apply to the ones you desire too.</p>

<p>Also from what I know its generally considered a bad idea to repeat the SAT more than 3 times… or so I heard… so maybe you can should take the ACT now ?</p>

<p>and ivy’s are reaches for everyone … people with perfect scores get rejected and people with a score like 1800 get accepted… so you never know…
and I’d agree apply to some safety schools also…</p>

<p>chance me!

<p>just out of curiosity, how did your math vary from 640 to 800?
not to be annoying or anything, but did you do something different in the way you studied for the 800? any studying suggestions?</p>

<p>yah I would love to know as well.</p>

<p>OOHHHHH IT WAS A TYPO. A BIG ONE. sorry it’s supposed to be 760. The curve was horrible. I missed one question, and took out 40 points. Uhh, suggestions for math: Solve as much problems as you can. The more you solve, you can see your weaker parts (I tend to panic with geometry questions). Then concentrate in that one area, and you will do just fine in math :slight_smile: Thanks for the feedback though.</p>
