APs: 10th: 1; 11th: 5 next year planning 4 with multivariable calc at a local university.

<p>You’re a solid candidate. Retake the SAT and maybe try the ACT (just to raise the writing score…since you’re unhooked it can’t hurt to have a better SAT!). But really, you’re in the same boat as most applicants. You’re a solid candidate and you will get into a great school, it just might not be Yale. Make sure you work on your essays and demonstrate a passion for your major, etc. Try to make yourself stand out with non-quantitative data! Good luck!!</p>

<p>2230 is my 3rd SAT though. I took it twice in my sophomore year for a program and got 2000 both times, so I probably shouldn’t take it again.</p>

<p>Definitely try the ACT then, with that score on the SAT you will probably get at least a 34+.</p>

5

<p>What is your highest writing score on the SAT? Yale superscores as far as I know</p>

<p>oh I’m sorry, did I type great? I meant better,. It was 700</p>
