<p>Chance me for Cornell (Early Decision, at this point just to say i did), UT austin, Texas A&M,.
Also if you can give me other colleges that would be within my reach realistically, I would appreciate it. </p>

ACT: 31 (33 Math best one) the first time. I'm taking it again in a week.</p>

<p>SAT: 1940 first time (not going to send to colleges, might retake)</p>

<p>Senior year course load: AP English Lit, AP Spanish Lit, AP Micro/Macro, AP Physics C, AP Chemistry, and Abstract Math/ Linear Algebra (I took Calc 3/ Diff EQs last year as a junior).
Ive taken 12 APs (senior year included) and two college courses (calc 3/ diff eqs and abstract math/ linear algebra)</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:

<p>You should probably just stick with the ACT and not bother with retaking the SAT.</p>

<p>Cornell U: As an Ivy League, this is obviously a reach no matter how great of an applicant you are. I believe that one of the most important things for Cornell is showing a lot of interest for your major (then again, I guess that’s also most other classes), so one of the essay prompts is something along the lines of what activities have you done that demonstrate your interest/caused you to have interest/etc/etc. Your course load is pretty impressive, and you seem to have an obvious talent in math, which could really help.</p>

<p>UT Austin: Your ACT score actually already falls on the high end. This college apparently values class rank and course rigor most, so this should be a match.</p>

<p>Texas A&M: Pretty similar to UT Austin, I guess.</p>

<p>Not very good at recommending colleges and not that aware of many colleges to being with, so…</p>
