<p>I don’t really do chances, but a couple of questions:</p>

<p>How about SAT Subject tests? I assume you’re sending your ACT, but at least Columbia wants 2 Subject tests too.</p>

<p>Is there a reason you didn’t take the tests for the other AP classes?</p>

<p>Since you don’t have UDub on your list, do you have a financial safety? Can you afford full fare at these privates or will you need need-based FA or merit scholarships?</p>

<p>im taking subjects on june second…</p>

<p>i took 4 as a sophomore (those are the ones up there), im taking 5 this year as a junior
and then 3 next year…</p>

<p>i didnt include UW because thats one of my safeties and im looking at other colleges now. and im not worried about it…</p>

<p>im going to need merit scholarships (i do not qualify for aid) and also outside scholarships which i have gotten a few small ones.</p>

<p>Ah ha, I read incorrectly and thought that you were a current sr, thus the questions about Subject and AP tests.</p>

<p>Glad to hear you have a financial safety, many students don’t and find themselves in a very difficult situation after FA offers come in.</p>

5

<p>Did you take algebra 2 and spanish 3 in HS?</p>

6

<p>Did you take precalc? To have 3 math Ap’s… like a kid at my school…</p>
