I have taken very rigorous courseload (as seen by weighted GPA).
Plan to take 3 AP’s next year (Calc, Bio, English) but I have not taken any yet.
Our school requires many prerequisites for the AP’s you can take.
Our highschool is in the top 10% for MCAS scores as well.
Our highschool sends about 4 or 5 kids to top universities every year.

Schools I’m looking at:
Boston College
Cornell
Harvard
Yale
Umass - Amherst
MIT
Columbia
Dartmouth
Georgetown -Legacy

-will probably apply early decision to either Georgetown or Cornell, and early action to the rest…
