<p>I would say if your school is quite competitive, then you should be able to get into UCSD and NYU.</p>

<p>I’m confused about a lot of things in this post. Are you a senior? (If that’s the case then you should already know your SAT score… and it’s obviously too late to take any more tests.) Or are you a junior just predicting your senior schedule and grades? </p>

<p>IMO, that’s waay too many subject tests. Just focus on 2 or maybe 3 and do well on them. Perhaps whatever you got a 5 on, but you probably should’ve taken those subject tests when you were taking the class.</p>
