Actually, you 17ers get a choice of which SAT to take: either the new one or old one. If I were you, I’d choose to take the old one, just so you can study it in advance (I doubt many review books or courses will be able to adequately prepare you for a test that’s never been administered). Another thing you should consider is self-studying an AP. I’m normally against this idea because it’s time consuming and AP scores don’t matter (so they say) for admissions, unless you go to a school that does not offer many APs. This seems to be your case, and taking an AP or two that you learned entirely on your own will be a plus, especially given your school’s lack of AP classes. Since you’re interested in business, I’d recommend self-studying macro and micro economics. Definitely start early in preparing, but these two exams have a lot of overlap between them, so they are a perfect pair to take on the same year. Just so you know, I took a full year course for macro, and self studied micro in 4 days via crash course book (I’m not joking), and I think I got a 5 on both. Albeit, I am on an economics research team and am really invested in economics (though I knew very little about the ap microeconomics curriculum, and I don’t think my economics research helped too much). My point: it’s possible to do well, especially if you give yourself several months to prepare. Finally, if you’re certain you want to do business, I’d look at the Notre Dame Mendoza School as well. But just so you know, if you’re looking for a career on wall St and such, most firms hire a lot (the majority) of students from all sorts of liberal arts backgrounds; you don’t have to lock yourself down to undergrad business study, and I would in fact discourage it (unless you get into Wharton or maybe stern/gtown/Notre) bc many amazing schools, like the rest of the ivies, are heavily recruited by top banks and firms, yet most good schools don’t offer a business program for undergrads. Essentially, being from an elite undergrad business program gives you barely (if any) of an advantage against a liberal arts student from a great school. Shoutout to you if you read all this, and plz chance back
