<p>It seems like a decent shot, especially since you are out of a rural area. Maybe I will see you in 2 years. haha :)</p>
<p>You can’t manage 9 APs in one year.
Physics and Bio in same year?
Fail.</p>
<p>Add Euro and Psych and two Government APs??
This is impossible.</p>
<p>Have fun at HOBY! It’s a great experience!</p>

<p>Thanks lebronjames but then what AP tests should I cut out? I don’t really want to cut out any because they’re all unique and interesting in their own way but in your opinion what would be the ones to cut out next year?</p>
<p>Thanks tcwest…I hope so too!!! Haha they should have a CC secret meeting at all of the Ivy League schools… We could start a new tradition 
haha not really but it would kinda be cool</p>
<p>Hi YellowDaisies and thanks for chancing me :)</p>
<p>Anyways, first thing to point out, that’s quite a load of AP’s and your 4.0 GPA and rank 1 shows you’ve done really well on all of them! That’s also diverse list of EC’s but like you mentioned for me, you need a stronger focus. I see a concentration on academics, economics, and biology, but perhaps you could focus on one over the next few summers and make it really significant. I applied to NIH this year and I didn’t get in. Maybe they’re very competitive or its just me. </p>
<p>You have a great start. Let’s hope you get that NHS and Decathlon leadership positions you want!</p>
<p>@ yyphgniph…awesome thank you! Aw sorry about the summer programs!! I know how disappointing that is. I got rejected from HSHSP this summer. Thanks again!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your help. I’ve compiled a list of things that people think I need to improve just for anyone in the future who reads this (I know “Chance Me” threads of other people have helped me figure out what’s good):</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Get a good SAT II Scores (esp Math II)</p></li>
<li><p>Get an SAT Score about 2200 (though I’m aiming for +2300)</p></li>
<li><p>Have focus</p></li>
<li><p>Self-studying the APs? Can I do them? (I think I will be able to because I love doing that, I had very little problem s-s 3 this year + a class although I didn’t start until like a month before, and I’m starting early this year…if I do cut out one it will be either AP World History or Comp Gov)</p></li>
<li><p>Get those leadership positions (I’m pretty confident I will get what I have listed)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks everyone and if anyone has anything to add to that list I would definitely appreciate it!!! :)</p>
<p>I would strongly advise you not to self study physics b if you are taking pre-cal over the summer. physics b requires a very good understanding of upper level math and it will be extremely difficult for you to do well on without a) honors physics b) trig based math.</p>
<p>^ Does not PreCalc contain trig? I thought it did…</p>
<p>And also, I am taking Calculus next year as well as an extremely intense Physics Class (it just does not have the name Honors)</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice!! I know that one will be the hardest to s-s but I am interested in the sciences for my college major and right now my AP classes are heavily humanities… Plus I was considering taking the two Physics Cs as my independent studies senior year… </p>
<p>But now I’m getting ahead of myself. Is PreCalc over the summer and Calc during the school year + an intense Physics Class during the school year + reading of several prep books enough to get me a 5 on Physics B?</p>
<p>^ Yes, precalculus does contain trig.</p>
<p>A lot of it depends on YOU and the “intense” physics class.</p>
<p>^ So then what was theblusrstillblu meaning by that?</p>
<p>Ops meant to put ^^</p>
<p>Bump… Any other advice :)? </p>
<p>You guys have been a huge help!! I was just wondering if there were anymore comments :)</p>
<p>Bump… Last time and then I’ll let this thread die :)</p>
<p>You’ll do just fine. Keep up the grades- junior year is harder than you think it will be.</p>
<p>^ So true.</p>
<p>Updated List</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Get a good SAT II Scores (esp Math II)</p></li>
<li><p>Get an SAT Score about 2200 (though I’m aiming for +2300)</p></li>

<li><p>Get those leadership positions (I’m pretty confident I will get what I have listed)</p></li>
<li><p>Keep good grades Junior Year</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks everyone and if anyone has anything to add to that list I would definitely appreciate it!!!</p>
<p>Mentioning focus…I was under the impression that premeds had a harder time getting into ivy league schools bc soooo many biology majors are applying, so the whole econ thing might make you stand out.</p>
<p>Or am I mistaken on this?</p>
