<p>So do you want Ivy chances or chances at the schools you listed?</p>

3

<p>both please if you dont mind haha</p>

<p>Your ivy chances are about 20-30% due to hispanic male+stats imo. You have a solid shot at UT, USC (Cal), UGA and GT between 40 and 60% for each one. I think you are in at USC (Carolina) and UF.</p>

<p>You’re in good shape for those universities above.</p>

<p>For Ivy League, you should consider retaking the SAT (as you still have plenty of time), rising your GPA and getting involved in activities that might be unique about you.</p>

<p>You’re heading right ;)</p>

6

<p>ivy leagues also want sat II right? so which ones should i take?</p>

7

<p>A general rule is that you should take the SAT II concurrent to your APs. Granted, you can take it after an Honors class, but most schools don’t cover all of SAT II material in an Honors class (But honestly, you can just study the rest of it from a SAT II Review Book, you should be doing that for any test, IMO). You can take World History SAT II if you still remember, but you’ll be fine taking Bio/USH/Math II at the end of 11th grade. You only need to take two SAT IIs, but it’s RECOMMENDED that you take three.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice on the SAT II’s, I appreciate it. Oh yea guys btw, out of the colleges i listed, which would be the best for a computer science major and which has a better bussiness school?</p>
