Should I even bother?? Chance me please!!!

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm applying to Yale, Duke, Brown, Darthmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Northwester, and U of C and I'm begining to woder if I should even bother. For startes I haven't taken any SAT subject test test and they are needed for a few of the schools. I know I should have know but it just went under my radar. I got a 27 on my ACT and I'm thinking wheter to retake it in february but only U of C and and Yale would take them and I'm not even sure that they would accept them. I got a 1750 on my SAT but I never prepare for it or knew the format or anything even though I wish I had taken that more than the ACT. My GPA is 4.47 out 4 my class rank 12th out of 718. I took 2 AP classes last year and I'm taking five this year. I got a B in my honors pre cal class last year but know I'm getting an A on my AP calc class. I also got a B a semester for AP Language. I have gotten A's in all my other classes. I got 3's on both the AP lit and AP US history (I know bad again). I'm in varsity cross country, track, NHS, NVHS, NLHS, president of my senior class, student board representative, member of the principle advisory committe, Big Brothers Big Sisters, ambassadors, USA leaders (leadership and volunteer group in my city), took physic classes at fermilab and a few more that are escaping my mind right now. I'm also summiting a photo portafolio. What do you guys think, should I bother taking the SAT subject test and applying to the schools that need them, should I retake the ACT in febuary even though there is a chance of it not getting to the school, and should I even bother to apply???? please help!!</p>

<p>P.S: I'm came to the USA when I was ten knowing no english... idk if that helps</p>

<p>This big block of text makes it harder to read.</p>

<p>Do you even have time to take the SAT Subject Tests? I mean, isn’t the deadline in January? And even if you did have time, your SAT score probably wouldn’t cut it, and you definitely wouldn’t have time to retake THAT.</p>

<p>Really, the only thing you can rely on now seems to be your grades and your ECs and your essays, unless I’ve got the testing deadlines wrong.</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply, but I don’t see why you’re applying to so many Ivy League schools. Is that even necessary? One or two, maybe three reaches is fine, but six Ivy’s? Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you should cut it down and apply to some more matches and safeties.</p>

<p>Yur scores are not in range for these schools, it’s highly unlikely you would get into any of them. Use your time to apply to schools where you really have a shot.</p>

<p>I have apply to other schools and been accepted. I’m only applying to so many Ivy’s in hope that I could get in to one by chance.</p>
