<p>Depending on my grade for the AP Calculus AB exam, I will be able to bridge to a local college as part of my schools Advanced Study Program. In order to be part of this program, I must have exhausted my schools offered courses in math (which I have), and must receive a 5 on my AP Calc exam. So hopefully I get a 5 and then Calculus II and Linear Algebra will be in my schedule.</p>
<p>Colleges:
Columbia
U. Penn.
Northwestern

<p>I don't really think I stand a chance at the top three. Theyll be quite the stretch. But I would really like to get into Cornell, or any of the middle three. The last three are my safeties. My counselor is certain that I will be accepted into those.</p>
