Chance me madison?
My main question is if I should apply early, because I could instead apply regular after increasing my USACO rank to at least gold, retesting IB math (Im all but guaranteed a higher score for a long reason), taking the AMC (to maybe alleviate the Math B’s), and publishing my personal coding project. However, I consider Madison a target school (50% acceptance rate), so im wondering what y’all think about if I shoul apply early or not. If I do, then I can get away with not having to apply to a bunch of other schools if I get in
