Hi I am a freshman and my dream school is Yale. (I know its a longshot. I’ve visited many times and the campus is amazing.)
Most everything I posted here are predictions. Btw my school doesn’t offer many AP classes explaining why I didn’t pack my schedule with AP classes.
ATMS is like our schools honor classes but they don’t give GPA grade boosts. I know my planning is insane, but I just want to know my chances if I follow the plan.
