<p>Emerson is another college that keeps popping up on my searches. While a tad on the expensive side, it's also a great school I assume. Just to toss a coin, what are my chances:</p>
<p>white male
OOS- Upstate NY

I plan to take SAT IIs in Math 1, Literature and U.S. History, possibly Biology
Varsity Athlete (Indoor Track/Tennis)
Clubs: Key Club, Literary Magazine, School Newspaper
AP courses for senior year: AP English Lit and Comp
Parttime job over summer</p>
<p>I think Emerson may be a slight match. Any other E.C. stuff? Other AP courses for other years?</p>
<p>No AP courses are allowed in our school until senior year. You can be in honors HLA which is this oddball class of history and english, in 10th-11th grade. I didn't make that since my freshmen year (which is how you get in) my global grade was only an 84 to my english grade a 92. Also for some reason you need to have completed Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Math 1 and 2 with a 93 or above in all to get into classes like AP Biology or AP Chemistry. Though I'm definitely not a science person! </p>
<p>Buuut I am looking into getting into AP Economics if that's a plus. My teacher likes me to some extent and might throw me a recommendation even though his U.S. history class is difficult and I'm just this quarter sliding into an 85 (100 pt scale if there's any confusion). And I have this spring/summer to do a bunch more ECs and maybe become an officer in our Magazine and maybe Co-Editor on our newspaper.</p>
