<p>AP Poetry and AP Fiction?</p>

<p>what the heck?</p>

<p>what private school do you go to? Andover?</p>

<p>pretty good chances.</p>

<p>ivy leagues are always unpredictable, but you have a decent chance</p>

3

<p>ha i'm big on the humanities. i'm taking both senior year...</p>

4

<p>i've not even seen AP Poetry or Fiction tests on collegeboard</p>

5

<p>Id say u r a shoe in to all those school ( i also agree with nizzle, the ivies are totally unpredictable). Vandy and NYU have good humanities programs</p>

6

<p>You're a strong candidate at all but Brown.</p>

7

<p>zagat- do you say this just because of Brown's ivy-league unpredictability?</p>

8

<p>You're SAT score is about Brown's average. Most at or below the average are hooked candidates. Actually, the "lower" (hate the term) ivies are not that unpredictable.</p>

9

<p>I disagree with zagat, i think you are a strong candidate at all schools listed. A 1460 is not low for Brown, combine that with 4.0 UW and i say you will be very attractive to the admissions committee. However, zagat is correct in the fact that Brown(and the other ivies) are all about distintion and "hooks". Your chances will increase greatly if you can demonstrate a unique passion or quark of some sort. Uva is the Best! good luck.(also if you are from the south you could be from an underrepresented state, although i am not sure that it really makes that much of a difference)</p>

10

<p>Yea wt f are AP Poetry/Fiction?</p>

11

<p>there's no such thing as either AP poetry or AP fiction.</p>

12

<p>um, collegeboard does not offer AP Poetry & AP Fiction tests...</p>

13

<p>yeah, i was so confused.</p>

<p>is your school making BS classes?</p>
