<p>This thread is ridiculous. Valedictorian with good test scores means you’ll almost certainly get in somewhere.</p>

3

<p>Not true Kudryavka. There are thousands with similar stats.
essay and ecs distinguish.</p>

4

<p>if you’re the valedictorian at a top 1% in the world high school with 14 ap/ib courses and decent ec’s like you have, you could get in pretty much anywhere haha</p>

5

<p>Your AP scores hint at grade inflation. I think Georgetown is possible, but strong list otherwise. I promise you that you will get into at least 3 of those schools.</p>

6

<p>hahahahahahahaha. you guys make me laugh.</p>

<p>@atypical23 I agree that my AP scores leave something to be desired but I wasn’t enrolled in the ap courses for those classes. I took classes like IB Biology, IB Psych, IB Calc, etc. The curriculum for these IB courses is not matched to the AP curriculum and I did little/no self-studying for these tests and only took them with hopes of securing credits.</p>

<p>updates from this fall: ap scholar with distinction. acda honor choir. 2011-2012 all state chorus. ronald reagan centennial commemorative coin toss excellence in leadership award. thoughts?</p>

<p>Bartow High School? Suncoast? Well anyways, I really don’t think you have a problem at most (all?) of these schools. I think all are on target or maybe lower. Good luck and I think you will get good financial aid at most of these schools. Chance me back?

12

<p>Too easy. You should apply to HYPSM</p>

13

<p>yeah, but I’m a florida girl who needs sunshine and merit money.</p>

<p>georgetown, rice and vanderbilt: decent (or good) chances</p>

<p>don’t know much about other colleges</p>

<p>rice, vanderbilt and wash u have merit scholarships
duke also has merit scholarship</p>

<p>but they are very difficult to get</p>

<p>good luck to you</p>
