<p>Hey!
First off, I am NOT FROM THE MIDWEST. I am using my mother's account. I live in New York City.
Chance as many or as few as you feel like.
I'm looking at:
* SUNY Binghamton
* Skidmore
* LeHigh
* SUNY New Paltz
* Colgate
* Boston College
* Franklin and Marshall
* Brandeis
* SUNY Geneseo
* Bard
* Lafayette
* Ithaca</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7 (92)
Sat: M-600 , W-660 , CR-770 (Retaking SAT in October, hoping to raise Math and Writing)
Combined: 2030, or 1370 M/CR
SAT II: Math I and Lit, taking in November</p>
<p>Classes:
I switched schools my sophomore year. At the high school I attended as a freshman, a performing arts school, I was placed in an honors track, and so took honors English and History.
Realizing I wanted more of a focus on academics, and a smaller environment, I switched to my current high school as a sophomore.
At my current high school, they offer no honors classes and only 4 AP classes; AP Bio, AP hem, AP Calc and AP Spanish. I did not take any of the math/science APs because they aren't subject areas I excel in, or have a further interest in. I will be taking Spanish 4 with AP option, however, although Spanish 5 is technically the AP course. I hope that colleges can see that I took advantage of History and English opportunities when I could, but that my current high school simply didn't offer AP or honors classes in them. </p>
<p>Despite the fact that I have an A- average, I am only in the top 30%, because my high school is competitive academically.</p>

History: 4 Years
