<p>einstein, MJ920103 is a troll, in a nother post he put down he got accepted to harvard, but he's a hs sophomore, ignore his posts.</p>
<p>k lol thanks. and i will check those colleges out but i want to go to the best college for theoretical physics. my book is on quantum/theoretical physics and i'm already using cornell's college physics book and their intro. to quantum field theory.</p>
<p>Most colleges will look very carefully at your test scores and what you have been doing with your time if you are homeschooled. It seems to me that flying is a bit incongruous for someone with health problems. At best it is an activity to round out what you enjoy doing, but is not really very helpful to many schools unless there is a physics slant to it. But coming back to the test scores, check the requirements of the colleges you like, and you will find that they often require or recommend a number of SAT2s. APs are also good-you can take some of those correspondence style or on line and then arrange to take the exams next year. Anything that gives the colleges a basis of comparison with those kids in school will be very helpful to you. Good luck.</p>
<p>should i get involved in more activities related to physics? i'm also in an advanced science group which requires testing to be accepted. cornell'd be my first choice because it's one of the best schools for physics esp. in the ivy league.</p>
<p>All these "lessons" just say your parents have enough money to pay for them. Unless you have unusual talent in guitar/fencing/flying(?) they shouldn't mean much.</p>
<p>johns hopkins has an intense physics program.</p>
<p>so does carnegie, and WUSTl, basically all those schools on that list.</p>
<p>they are my talents. guitar - 7 years. flying - 1.5 years will get my license in 1. fencing i will test for levels etc. i will do my best. please advise what to do etc. everyone.</p>
<p>If you are intensely interested in physics, yes, you should look for some outlets. And if you love those activities, by all means continue.</p>
<p>Science research among other pursuits would strengthen your application. Siemens Westinghouse or doing work at a university helps. Maybe independent study AP physics. I agree that your activities are a bit incongrous with your interests and aren't really gonna help you unless you have a real talent, especially at a national level. Advanced fencing, i.e. on a varsity team might help tho, it's quite unusual. </p>
<p>The schools on your list are very difficult, to say the least, even for the best of us. Cornell is really big on ED and is possibly the most realistic reach of those you mentioned.</p>
<p>thanks for clarifying, the talents are interesting, esp flying. Fencing if you're good enough can be a way into a top school.</p>
