<p>I will be taking the March SAT...
Also, do you think self-studying for AP tests (stats, world history, econ) will help me?
Thanks so much!</p>

<p>anyone???</p>

<p>your grades are definitely there and so are your EC’s. It’s just a matter of how well you do on the March SATs</p>

<p>thanks! anyone else?</p>

<p>I agree. The SATs and SAT IIs will play a big role in the more prestigious schools, especially the Ivies. Your Ecs are great, as are your grades/rigor of courses. Schools like Stanford, Princeton, Cornell, and UPenn are a reach for anybody, but you definitely have a shot. The double legacy at Rice will also help. Overall, if you can get a 2200+ on your SATs and 700+ on your SAT 2s, good recs, and a good essay, you should be just fine.</p>

<p>Thanks! Anyone else?</p>

<p>can someone tell me specifically what schools are safety/match/reach?</p>

<p>It’s difficult to say specifically until you take the actual standardized tests and have the full junior year behind you!</p>

<p>You definetly have a great chance into getting into those schools. Upenn cornell and princeton especially are highly selective but you might have a shot. Your grades are deff there and your EC also</p>

<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME BACK</p>
