<p>For your SAT II's, leave the IC for last, and don't take it if you are tired (unless you need 3 scores). The IIC and Physics are the important ones. </p>

<p>Obviously, MIT is a long shot. Which college at CMU are ou applying to?</p>

<p>The rest of your list should yeild some nice acceptances. If you have not already applied to UMich, do so ASAP. And good luck on your SAT II's!</p>
