How many subjects and what grades?

Hi guys,

I’m thinking of applying to some top US universities, and I have a few questions. I’d really appreciate your help if you could answer them, if possible :slight_smile:

They are as follows:

  1. How many SAT subject tests, A levels and O levels were usually taken by those of you who successfully got admission into these universities?

  2. What were your SAT scores and your grades at A level and O level? The specifics of your extracurriculars?

  3. Lastly, how do you guys decide which unis you should apply to? I mean there are so many respected and high-ranking unis, how to choose and what aspects should one consider while choosing?

Thanks!!!
