<p>I plan to apply EA to UNC at Chapel Hill (Journalism) & Northeastern University (International Business), and RD to University of Pennsylvania (College of Arts and Sciences). Any idea of my chances for Northeastern Honors? And is it silly of me to apply to an Ivy? (I've been told that UPenn doesn't look at freshmen grades - if this is true then it would be like having a 4.0 uw right?)</p>

<p>I will apply to some of the following: College of Charleston, University of Arizona, Fordham University, University of Washington Seattle, Northwestern University, and Emory University.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!!!</p>

<p>What SAT II’s have/are you going to take? I would suggest retaking the SAT’s for a higher score in math, only if you know you can score better. You have a decent chance at UPenn, NE, UNC.</p>

<p>I’m thinking about U.S. History, Spanish, and Literature, or maybe Italian, if I can self-teach myself enough by the time of testing. UPenn is the only school I plan to apply to that requires SAT II’s, the rest just recommend them.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
