<p>Does this mean you scored 6 on HL Biology and HL Math?</p>

<p>^ Never mind, I see it is junior year, so these are internal grades. It is hard to chance without SAT subject test scores, but you seem to be doing well, judging from the SATs. However, the Ivies could be high reach, without A or A+ on HLs.</p>

<p>Thanks perazzi, I’m going to be applying Early to Penn and my SAT scores will be out by late October, so i wouldn’t really have much time to improve on anything, hence I posted now.</p>

<p>Anyway I’ll probably come back once I’m done with my SAT Subjects and once I increase the quality of my grades.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
