What is your meaning with ‘dreamer’ are you undocumented or is that just mean these are reaches? Hopefully you will get QB finalist. But look at all the QB schools as they meet need. Search wikipedia for meets 100% needs schools.
Ok, wel those are pretty much reach for everyone schools. I don’t know how it will be for you with only one combined soph/jr year. I don’t know what classes outside of school will mean, if there is a transcript or not. So while it looks good in that do handled the Jr year well, I just don’t know and I don’t really do chances since it is pretty meaningless.
If you are going to do the QB Match, you can’t apply ED anywhere else. The QB Match is like up to 8 ED. But you can RD anywhere you like. Best of luck.
Note that if Chinese if a native or heritage language it only countsas a supplementary test and you need another one for these schools.
What so you think your predicted d IB score will be?
AsBrownParent said, QB is essentially ED times 8 but choose these carefully and include a couple LACs such as Pomona or Williams.
My predicted is not good. 36/42. Chinese is not my native language. I am testing in Mandarin, and I speak Cantonese at home; they are very different. Thus, I’m still learning it at school. @myos1634
^ you’ll have to make that very clear.
That predicted will hurt at all your goal schools - is it due to a predicted 5 somewhere offset by a 7 or are you straight 6’s?
You have 7 IB HL courses listed in your senior course load. I didn’t think that was allowed by the IBD program. I also don’t understand what your 6th IBD course is.
In general I have a hard time differentiating fact from projection in the OP.
Well. I took practice test for math 2 and chinese, and they are easily my projected scores. Math 2, most of the time, I score 800. Chinese is just really easy. It would be sad if I didnt get 800 haha. @renaissancedad
