<p>This is really tough for me on a number of levels. Harvard has always been my top choice but questbridge gives adcoms the opportunity to get to know me, even though they have 12 minutes per app. First of all, the earlier application date presents a number of drawbacks for me:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>My SAT2s are low. I have an 800 in Math 2 but a 670 in both physics and bio. The date to take it is October 1 but the due date for the college match application is September 30. </p></li>
<li><p>I am retaking the ACT in September but the score won't be released til after September 30. </p></li>
<li><p>I can't rank the colleges. It's really hard!!! My eight are Princeton, Columbia, Yale, u of Chicago, Stanford, Rice, Emory, and Swarthmore. I want a college where I can pursue anything and everything. I want to be able to research cancer, run a business, and perform standup comedy. Those are my only three hopes for college. I want a place where I can be curious and have teachers foster that curiosity and allow to voice opinion. I've visited Columbia and loved it. I'm interviewing at U of Chicago on Friday and expect similar awesomeness. But what you guys think? Undergrad at Princeton is unparalleled. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>I'm thinking about going ahead and just doing Questbridge, but I would have to convince myself to not apply to harvard.</p>
