<p>youre lacking strong classes, although your scores look great. you also should probably have more extracarriculars. Probably not harvard or amherst or other ivies, but i would say your chances are good on a really good almost ivy school.</p>

<p>Where you rank at your school is the key question. Although most prep schools don’t officially rank, colleges will know where you fall in the class. At top preps you contend with lots of legacies, recruited athletes and development, so your school counselor is your best source.</p>

<p>Sabortooth, is 4 AP’s really weak? I’m taking essentially the hardest course load available, but I can’t take science because of my school’s religion requirement, which I haven’t fulfilled yet. Taking 6 courses senior year at my school is very hard, you need special permission and everything, and they wouldn’t let me because I’m a monitor (monitors meet once a day in a common free period, so it’s almost equivalent to a 6th class).</p>

<p>Redroses, my school doesn’t rank, but I can say with reasonable certainty that I am in the top 10%.</p>

5

<p>To be honest, you have a decent chance at all of the schools you have listed. You will get in some, and you won’t get in some. It is for the universities to pick which ones you will get into, so I can’t say for sure.
Just wondering, how many students are in your class?</p>

<p>O ya true that’s pretty much it for everyone, I’m just trying to get every bit of advice to narrow my list, although I realize that these chance me threads aren’t anything concrete. One question though - I may be forced to choose between BC calc and AP lit… which one should I choose? I would drop either to AB calc or to regular english, but the BC calc teacher is really good</p>
