Future plans for next year:
Planning on taking AP English, AP US History, IB Physics, IB Spanish, Honors Pre-Calculus, and Macro/Microeconomic Theory at Suny Binghamton.</p>
<p>I would really appreciate your feedback!</p>
<p>Does the competition have a chance: that should be the question.
Your chances, in my opinion, are phenomenal. My only advice is to stay as productive as you have been.</p>
<p>Thank You so much!! And when would you suggest taking the SAT Subject tests, I am taking the SAT math level 1 subject test next month. But when would you suggest I take the other two, I was considering next spring because I am taking AP English and AP US History next year which will prepare me for them. What do you think???</p>
<p>Ahh I’m in the exact same place as you. I’m a sophomore I have a 4.29, I was just in ap studio art, pre calc 1, chemistry, spanish 3, ap economics, honors english, and student council. I have only taken the act and got a 32 but I assume I can at least get that up to a 34 by junior year, my athletics are soccer year round and I did play men’s volleyball last year. My summers: 2009 I had a job at the melting pot working as a bus boy, 2010 I went to oxford and took classes for a month, and this summer I am going to Boston I assume or possibly switzerland to study something.
My extra-curriculars are piano, and I’m not quite sure what else but I am also beginning Japanese courses over the summer ( I LOVE JAPAN) but anyway my schedule for next year is: ap statistics, ap us history, pre calc 2, ap chemistry, ap studio art 2, and ap english. My school doesn’t have IB so I’m just taking aps.
I am first of my class if that counts for anything, soo ya just wonder thanks for reading through all of that if you did.</p>
