Not sure whether or not I want to apply because I’m not sure I’ll get in. Please provide feedback for a senior that needs to find RD schools!

I would be likely applying for economics, possibly math and some sort of business minor. But straight up I need to do more research on their strongest majors.

You have as good a shot as anyone else. But why in the world are you retaking those SAT subject tests? Increasing them beyond a 750 will do nothing for you. At all. Work on your essays and polishing up your app. There is no reason to retake those tests.

I think a 800 on math atleast looks solid and especially as a potential math Major. Also some schools will recommend them.
