I am Sahil. I scored a 1900 on my SAT(Old one). I scored 9.6 c.g.p.a. in class 9, 9 c.g.p.a. in class 10, 95% in class 11 and 85% in class 12. I am planning to give APs and subject tests to improve my chances. I can score 5 in Calculus and Physics APs. But the problem is that I can’t afford to give so much APs as they are too expensive. So which A.P.s should i take. Please guide me fast, the last date for A.P. registration is near.
what schools are you targeting ?
Truly speaking, i am targeting for Cornell, but any good univ with good faculty would work, although cornell is my main priority.
Why Cornell? Do you know how competitive it is?
Talk to your guidance counselor about waiving your fee. No harm in asking.
Can intl students get fee waivers?
Taking AP tests don’t really count for admission. Many schools just use them for extra credit.
Your GPA and SAT/ACT scores are the main indicators of college preparation.
Do you need financial aid?
