<p>I have no interest in the IB Diploma, itself, but I took 4 full-year IB classes last year and am now taking 5. We have no AP or Honors courses.</p>

<p>SAT I: 760 CR 760 M 640 W 2160 Composite
ACT: 34</p>

<p>I'm not sure which to submit. Help?!?! Right now I think I'm sending both!?</p>

<p>SAT IIs will be Chemistry, Math II, and US History. Assume I will do well, kay?</p>

<p>Academic Honors:</p>

<p>National Merit Semi-Finalist (shoo-in finalist)
Outstanding Junior Math Student </p>

<p>E.C.s (look at the time commitment here...no typos...)</p>

<p>Marching Band (9-12) - 20hrs/week, 12/weeks/yr</p>

<p>Drum and Bugle Corps (11-12), 600-700 hours a year, school year and summer. Very hard to stick in boxes.</p>

<p>Head Drum Major for Marching Band (11-12)
Head Drum Major for Div II/III Finalist Drum and Bugle Corps (11-12)
Co-Founder, Captain for Ultimate Frisbee Team</p>

<p>I will probably enter a Business school or study Economics. I have absolutely no idea what I want in a career and am not devoted to any one major. I do plan to join a marching band if the school has one, and find myself pulled to USC for this reason...</p>

<p>I think I've refined my list now... chances at:</p>

<p>UCB
UCLA
USC
University of Washington Honors
Stanford
Reed College
Princeton
Yale</p>

<p>PLEASE help me out with my test score dilemma as I'm wrapping up my applications and lend me any advice or criticism you may have!</p>

<p>good chances at all...the only thing you have to worry about now is writing great essays (and scoring 700-750+ on you SATII's). good luck</p>

<p>That fell off fast, bump.</p>

5

<p>People get nervous around this time and decide to post 5x as many posts as they should (looks at myself...).</p>

6

<p>I'll do a few more before I let it die, bump.</p>

<p>Second to last bump...</p>

<p>For the love of God!</p>

<p>If I were you, I'd send in the ACT scores, since they somewhat better, and college-wise, I think Stanford, Yale, and Princeton are reaches (unless you have stellar essays, recs, and some other ECs) and the others are matches.</p>
