<p>sorry it’s quite long, and I still have a year of time to add more onto the list. By the way, because I study in an European school, i am putting my emphases on applying to colleges in UK. So I’m not sure if these information are helpful/advantageous for me to apply to US colleges. Also, I am not a very mathematical person, would taking MATH I rather than Math II in subject test affect my chances? I will be writing my essays next year only. What are the general tips and emphasis these colleges put on applicants?</p>
<p>Thanks guys!!</p>
