Will take AP chemistry, AP multivariable, AP English 11, AP US history, AP art studio ..as a junior... She is bored with high school and would like to go to college after junior year ... Caltech</p>

<p>EC includes debate,math competitions, math tutoring and ballroom dancing.
Would like opinion on her possibilities.
Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>Uh… what are her grades? What is her SAT/ACT score? There’s no possible way to determine her chances without those two things.</p>

3

<p>All A’s. One of the top five in a class of 800+.
Did not take SAT yet. Won’t be hard to get above 2100.</p>

4

<p>Admission to top universities is never a sure thing. But if she keeps her straight As, and gets an SAT of 2200 or so, her chances are as good as anyone’s.</p>

5

<p>QQ, what is AP multivariable?..</p>

6

<p>its not an AP, i took it in high school co-listed through the local University (it was like 306 i believe) last year</p>

<p>Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra</p>

7

<p>Okay, thanks for the clarification.</p>

8

<p>At my kids’ school, they are considered AP classes. They can take them and also earn college credit at the same time. I think they are school/state dependent.</p>

9

<p>Thank you very much!!! We are still discussing. I am afraid it would be harder from a Junior as she can only accumulate 3 years of record. But she feels that the 4th year in high school would not be really meaningful.</p>

10

<p>If she gets rejected, she can just continue high school and improve her record. So it’s a win win really. Any awards? Try aiming for a 2300+ sat</p>

11

<p>Check out this thread. It is pretty thorough. Aim for 750+ on all SAT subsections…</p>
