<p>I wouldn’t not apply because someone else is. You never know what might turn off/on the admissions council. You’re a typical applicant, so just go along for the gamble! You’re not going to get into every school you apply to if you take risks.</p>
<p>Right, but I am in love with the college of chem at Berkeley (first choice). Ok, I will apply then.</p>
<p>Just poking in, go with the ACT. I got in with a 32 ACT, so a 33 would be fine (you’d be in the upper half of the middle 50%).</p>
<p>Your GPA is so-so but the rest of your app could be pretty badass. Don’t stress so much.</p>
<p>“1 of 5 juniors to take Calc BC this year” </p>
<p>Where do you live because there are 3 fresh, 12 soph, and ~120 juniors taking ap calc in my school. </p>
<p>OUCH!!! That REALLY sucks that the valedictorian is apply to NU!!! Usually for these top colleges they choose people by region, so I would assume its going to be either him or you, probably not both.</p>
<p>Hm you probably go to a much smarter school or something than I do. Most people take calc bc in senior year, except for a select few that can take placement exam to skip an year. </p>
<p>However, it does not take matter when you take it, the most important thing is learning how to do calculus well. :)</p>
<p>Nah, a lot more people are applying to NU in my school, so at this point, I am just going to apply and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Dude, my year, almost a third of the graduating senior class applied to NU. And my school is pretty big. Don’t worry about competition, you’ll do fine. (maybe)</p>
