<p>Besides Yale, perhaps suggest some schools where I would be a good fit. Thanks!</p>

<p>You need SAT Subject test, also make sure you need about 4 or 3 years of math. Your SAT is really good by the way.</p>

<p>Sorry if that was confusing about which math classes I’ve taken. I meant to say that I took Geometry and Algebra II at the same time as a sophomore, Pre-Calc as a junior and I’m going to be in AP Calc as a senior. </p>

<p>Would I take all of my SAT II tests within a relatively short period of time at the beginning of my senior year? Could you tell me how my chances look by everything else? </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Also, try to focus your app around maybe the arts?? because as of now ur kinda all over the place with debate and engineering, yet you wanna major in econ?? show ur artsy-side more. other than tht, everything else looks good:)</p>

<p>Do not mention student of the month in 8th grade on any college applications. Also, the time you spent for each job means a lot (hrs/wk. & years spent). How many AP’s did you take, and what did you score?</p>

<p>Many take SAT II Subject Test after the AP class during their Junior or Senior year. Talk with your counselor or go on the CollegeBoard to check for dates.</p>

<p>You are strong enough to be seriously considered. It will come down to your essays, recommendations, etc. Good luck!</p>
