<p>What grade are you in that you didn’t take AP’s or SATII?</p>

3

<p>Im in my senior year. Here in Canada its pretty normal to leave SAT IIs until November when you’re applying, and I did the IB program rather than taking APs, my school only offers IB</p>

4

<p>if it helps, my exact rank is around 2-3 / 750</p>

5

<p>They said they are applying this year, so we can assume they are a senior. They probably didn’t take any APs because they are an IB student. And I haven’t taken any subject tests yet, either. I don’t think it’s all that unusual. </p>

<p>And to OP, you never know with the Ivies.</p>

<p>yeah, i know what you mean, its a real crapshoot =(</p>

<p>also, bump =)</p>
