<p>Impossible to know without test scores.</p>

<p>Depending, of course, on everything else, I’d say yes to all of the above. We have been looking at all of them except Carleton, and you’re right in the target zone, at least somewhat near the top.</p>

<p>Well I’ve taken practice ones, and I’m going to take them in a month so I don’t think its too late. I have plenty of time to take them, thanks for your concern however! :slight_smile: I have over one year-- I’m sure I’ll get the job done. Plus, I’ll learn a lot more in higher classes so I’ll do better well-learned than in utter underclassmen mode, which means I won’t have to waste my max 3 tries on kid folly.</p>
