<p>And AP Scholar with Distinction</p>

5

<p>Retake the SAT, four of the schools on your list are extremely competitive, also have you taken any subject tests? With increased scores I think they will all become low reaches. I can’t speak to the other schools.</p>

6

<p>And no, I haven’t taken any SAT Subject tests. I’m just really lazy I never studied for the SATs much. Oh well, maybe I’ll sign up for December and work at it.</p>

7

<p>At least half of the schools on your list require subject tests if you are submitting the SAT. If you are a senior you may experience issues with deadlines.</p>

8

<p>Yep, I’m a senior, go figure. And which ones other than Rice require subjects?</p>

9

<p>To my knowledge Stanford, Cornell, JHU and NYU require them (although some may just strongly recommend them), you can check their websites for confirmation of this.</p>

10

<p>Stanford wasn’t on the list, and Cornell and JHU don’t require subject test, they only recommend them. I don’t think NYU does either.</p>
