| So, let's see if I have this planned right.... I took the SAT, will retake it, and also take two subject tests, along with the ACT, all before the beginning of december. I have ec's, am very good at writing (helps with my college essay), but haven't taken any AP's. I am attending school senior year (this year) and will be able to tell colleges my curriculum, and hope they approve of it. Is there anything else I should do? I really want to get the most for my money, so attending a school which fits my exact needs is my top priority. I used UCLA as an example. I'd never fly to cali to attend a pub school when I'm in NY and can find far better schools for what I want, at the same price. anotherparent, you mentioned something very encouraging, and now that I think about it, it might just seem that I have a decent chance at a great college because I'm homeschooled. I can show them more than what an avg high school student can show them, so it's good to know that this is the case. Since I'm shooting for premed, I won't apply to an Ivy, unless my next SAT/ACT scores are in the top 5% of the US. (Who knows?) I should probably look for and apply to some scholarships other than those offered by a college. How much do you think winning a scholarship, for however many dollars, would help? Thanks for your responses! |
