<p>Why are you self studying for Macro?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You probably won’t even take an economics course in college. So you won’t get that credit</p></li>
<li><p>Taking the course will have no bearings on your admissions since you will take the exam after you have already committed to a school. You already said you are low income, so don’t waste your money.</p></li>

<p>@anniebeats I am self studying to be the state scholar and my school subsidizes the cost of my SAT/SATII/ACT/AP test. This isn’t an ego boost for me(why do people assume that?) I really need info about American Universities and financial aid.</p>
<p>Very high. Poor, 4 siblings, 1st-generation, black, immigrant, 36+2390+1st rank+rigor+APs+ECs (not unique, but volume)?</p>
<p>You’re gonna be like that one black guy from Chicago who got all 8 ivies.</p>
<p>thanks @HSAnon1997 </p>
<p>@modern1 I expect to play soccer in College if I have the time because I think I am relatively good. Basketball I will likely not play because I only started playing 5 years ago and I am only athletic and good at defense.</p>
<p>Definitely don’t apply to all 18 schools son your list, you’ll get accepted to at least some of them so decide what colleges you really want to attend and only apply to those (+ 1-3 safeties). You should have a great chance at most of the schools on your list, however, you probably already know that !</p>
<p>@castle027 I will apply to all because they are free for me. I will be adding about 5 safeties from the southeast.</p>
