So throughout my high school career I will have taken a total of 14 AP exams.</p>
<p>Idk if you said it already, but what are you ACT/SAT test scores?</p>
<p>I haven’t taken them yet!</p>
<p>Assuming your SATs are high to match your GPA, yes, your info puts you in the running for any competitive schools, including Williams.</p>
<p>How is my college list…I have Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, Yale,Duke, U of Chicago, and NYU…is that good enough bc I want to be an economics major…can you recommend any other schools that are good for an Econ major?</p>
<p>Penn’s Wharton school</p>
<p>Yeah I adjusted my list to Stanford, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Princeton, Duke, Georgetown, U Chicago, Northwestern, and NYU…is that good, any other school recommendations…possibly any LAC?</p>
<p>Try some of the Claremont colleges</p>
<p>Ok here is my final list
- Princeton 6. NYU
- Stanford
- Columbia
4.Northwestern - U of Chicago</p>
<p>No one can chance you without SATs.I think you’d better wait to see what you get. Or add an SAT-optional school like Bates…</p>
<p>What I really can’t seem to understand the fact that people say that SATs does not matter as much as your academic records and your achievements when it comes to top-tier schools, BUT at the same time they can’t judge whether you are fit or not for this college. </p>
<p>It is a paradox indeed.</p>
<p>I will be taking the SAT’s and SAT subject tests this year…how does my resume and college list look otherwise?</p>
