<p>@codeguy-I haven’t decided on a major yet- that is one of my main reasons for applying to a foreign university 
But tentatively, I think I’ll apply for a major in mathematics with a minor in astronomy.
What about you? Where are you from? I think I saw one of your posts before, mentioning all your extracurriculars.
They made my eyes pop out.
Btw do you have any ideas about extracurricular activities I can try out? Sure, I can always try for quizzes and olympiads and stuff. But the main issue is, I’ll start this year-and these olympiads are usually in November, and I think we have to send in our college applications by October.(I’m not very well-informed about the admission and application processes, so correct me if I said something wrong)
I think I’ll try to make something for the NIF this year in the summer holidays. Might be a good experience and I can mention it in my essay too.</p>
<p>You can send in apps by october or send them in by Jan 1st and keep updating them about the stuff u won:)</p>
<p>@akd1204,
Same is the case with me! The flexible curriculum and the Entrepreneurship opportunities are what that drives me towards the US. Well, I’m from Bihar. What about you?
From what you stated, I can’t make out which subjects in particular are you Interested in. Be more specific about the subjects you love!
For your ECs, I assume you like scientific stuff. Try the NASA Space Settlement or similar competitions, they sometimes act as Game Changers in College Decisions.
And about my ECs, I am not being humble, they are nothing compared to other applicants. So, we both are in similar situations.</p>
<p>Feel free to Message me or Post in the FB Group if you need any help. :)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>You have good ECs…Try to develop them

<p>I think you need to take a look at this,</p>

<p>Also depending on your list of colleges and comparing your scores with their freshman class stats profile wil give you an idea whether you need to give SAT again or just go for Subject SATs.</p>
<p>However, if you are keen on taking SATs again, you should read the following links as well,</p>
