Hi, I’m new on this site, but it looks like a great way to get info!
I’m applying to Davidson, Duke, William & Mary, Tufts, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Southern California and Vanderbilt University
Any ideas on my chances?
Really, really small high school in NY
7 AP’s by graduation and 2 Dual enrollment courses
AP Word history, US History, European History, Environmental science (no AP Earth Science), Physics, Calc and Psychology
DE Econ and Forensics
I’m looking to go into Earth science
The weaknesses I see in my application are my essay scores on the SAT and my lack of leadership roles
