AP:
Junior: classes for Gov, Microecon, Lang and Comp, Chem and tests for APUSH and Macroecon too
^^probably all 5s, maybe a 4 in chem or apush
Senior: Calc BC, Spanish, Comp Sci, Stats
Having independent study (since I don’t want to pay for local CC credits that won’t transfer) for intermediate micro and intermediate macroeconomics, it’s going to be brutal and I only can hope colleges don’t view it as a blow-off

What type of school do you want? Possible major? Urban/rural? Big/small? How much can you afford?

Have you used the supermatch tool on this site yet? It might be a good starting point. http://collegeconfidential.com/college_search

Those are all fantastic schools but you ahould consider some other factors such as potential major, location, athletics, and much more. You could definitely get into a selective school if you nail your apps though.

Well I don’t care much about the size or athletics. schools in the northeastern area are preferred. price is a major issue which is why I need in-state (Michigan resident) tuition or schools that give generous financial aid. As for a major, I’m leaning some variety of econ, but that takes a PhD for the most part so I’m slightly skeptical. Im mostly just wondering if I look to be a umich-caliber student or something more selective. Thanks for advice so far!

I’ve looked at a lot of stats online but think they are skewed by hooked students
