SAT II: Taking Chem and Math II, expecting 750+.
AP: Psychology (5) World History (3) Calc BC(5) Chemistry (5) Macroeconomic (5) English Lang(4). AP's by Graduation: 13. Yeah its already sent. I had no idea my world history score would be sent.

<p>Work:
Started my own swim lesson business during the summer. Worked approximately 50 hours.
Lifeguard for a summer during 9th grade. (70 hours)</p>

<p>My main questions, is it worth retaking SAT in Nov (I don't think i'll be able to get above 2200, maybe 2210 if im lucky). Dont tell me to take ACT, cause I dont want to, dont feel like studying for a totally new test.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Oh yeah and I won't chance back people who are applying to elite colleges, you probably don't need my advice. I can give good advice to people who are applying to colleges in the southeast, since I actually know people around there.</p>
