<p>bump!!! :)</p>

<p>You know, I am not the best to chance, but I think you should retake math to get 700 min. Most of the competitive colleges don’t care about the score AS LONG AS it is higher that 700.</p>

4

<p>i am out of practice for math; i prepared for it almost the whole school year, and i don’t think i could get higher than 700 with one month, but i did think about doing that.</p>

5

<p>I’d like to respectfully disagree with “Alone.” Your stats are excellent, and while, yes, your math score could improve a bit, I don’t think it’ll be a deal breaker for ANY of the schools that you applied for.</p>

6

<p>bump! and thank you =)</p>

<p>I found it really hard to read all your accomplishments. I dunno why, but it just seems excessive so I didn’t bother finishing. Sorry. xD Plus, I think you double-listed some stuff.
ANYWAYS. Probably in at UMDCP, JHU, and American. Georgetown too. UVA will be tough, and so will probably everything else. Get your scores up.
Are you really not allowed to take APs at Churchill until Junior year? Is that MCPS policy? I know that us GESP kids [Poolesville] had our schedules taken over, and we weren’t allowed to take APNSL. And then we didn’t have any room for anything else, so we didn’t try…</p>

<p>kasjalkjs12, yeah, might be, I just heard it somewhere. Maybe they were talking about SAT I scores? Anyway, good luck to the lady :)</p>

9

<p>yeah sorry i was too lazy to reformat it =)
and yes we can’t take APs (except for NSL, and calculus if you’ve done precal early obviously) before junior year unless you appeal to the principal.</p>
