<p>Standardized Test Scores:
AP Chemistry Exam: 3
AP English Lang. and Comp.: 4
SATs: My SAT scores are really not where they need to be and I'm going to take them again but I find it irrelevant, at this moment, to put my scores up because I know my scores can be raised. Right now I'm just around an average score- sub1800. Also planning on taking (???) two SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are? I've also been toying with the idea of early decision with some schools(Ideas?). Anyway, I can be extremely indecisive so deciding where I would like to go to college can be quite daunting, so if you have any suggestions of places to apply please let me know! As you can see I would like to (best case scenario) pursue a double major so having a college/university with a conservatory or conservatory type setting is extremely important to me. These are just some places my friends and guidance counselor has come up with for me to look into along with some state schools, but I wouldn't have a problem getting accepted to them so I just asked some of the harder ones. Thank you! </p>
