<p>Transylvania Univ</p>
<p>^That exists? o_0</p>
<p>Edit: After googling, it apparently does… Made me think of vampires though. xP</p>
<p>NYU, BC, Penn, Duke, UConn, UMass, GWU, JHU, Cornell (ED), Brown, and maybe a couple others.</p>
<p>UW-Madison, Texas-Austin, UVA, UNC, Duke</p>
<p>I most likely will go to UW because it is in-state which means saving between $56,000 and $88,000 over 4 years, but if I get into UVA or Duke I might try to use this as a way for them to offer me some kind of aid…will it work? Probably not. Is it worth a try? Yes</p>
<p>HYPS + 8-10 other schools. Plan on applying SCEA to Yale and on the small chance that I’m accepted, only send in HPS RD apps.</p>
<p>Cornell, Stanford, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Rice, John Hopkins, University of San Francisco. I also need to raise Critical Reading and Writing scores. Going to retake SAT for the third time in October.</p>
<p>^ I’ll probably take a few SAT IIs in October although I don’t think those scores won’t arrive in time for an EA/ED application. Already have one SAT II done and taking 2 more in May.</p>
<p>^ EA/ED deadlines are usually Nov. 1, and SAT/SAT II scores come in on the 29th of Oct (this year at least). :)</p>
<p>I know Cornell’s ED deadline is Nov. 1st, and I may take advantage of the October testing date if be needed.</p>
<p>Hmm CarnegieMU, NYU, UCs (top5), Rice, WashU, NWestern, Rochester, Wellsley, Pomona</p>
<p>Taking SATIIs in May/June, Retake SAT I (Grr Critical Reading)</p>
<p>Taking SAT II subjects Math II (Retake for 700+), US History, and World History in June. </p>
<p>Yeah, I hate the critical reading too. I wish it can be as easy as math for me.</p>
<p>EA: Caltech, MIT, U of I
RD: Harvey Mudd, Stanford, other yet-to-be-decided techie schools, HYP? (maybe a few).
Hoping I won’t have to go to RD list though. (Probably not going to happen, but I can dream…)</p>
<p>Taking SAT II’s in June (have a competition on the May test date…); yay for schools having either SAT I or ACT…</p>
<p>I’ll be considering my RD list regardless of whether I get an EA acceptance from Yale or possibly Stanford just to compare fin. aid offers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did you mean Wellesley? My intent is to apply there as well.</p>
<p>Hmm… can’t wait for senior year. :P</p>
<p>Schedule:
AP English
AP Stats
AP Calc AB
AP Bio (legendary teacher here is making 10-11 his last school year, plus I love bio)
AP Physics OR AP Gov+Pol leaning towards gov+pol since i love politics
AP Music Theory</p>
<p>College: TCNJ</p>
<p>Can’t wait for stats… the teacher also teaches my pre-calc H class and the dude is a genius. Literally. He’s in MENSA and all that, and he can factor a trinomial before you can even right down squat! We give him crazy sequences all the time and he normally gets them (ones that no normal being should ever be able to solve).</p>
<p>Really just can’t wait for college… I’m prolly gonna bomb my APs next year because… who cares! xD</p>
<p>As for you seniors taking AP USH this year: Have fun! I don’t know how difficult your teacher will be, but in our class (we take it junior year) you have to seriously work to pass the class. I used to study for 1-3 hours for even a quiz (sometimes tests well cover three damn chapters; movies spirit readings notes and textbook for three damn chapters =[) before I found a more efficient way of studying. I mean I love history; so I put a lot of work into it and get a great grade out of it, but if you don’t care so much it will be difficult. Our teacher is the coolest guy on the planet though… he’s the only teacher that people love even though they are failing his course! xD</p>
<p>^History’s one of my favorite courses, as well. I’m taking IB History of the Americas this year and it’s without a doubt one of the hardest courses offered at my school.</p>
<p>Senior Schedule:</p>
<p>AP Physics
AP Stats
IB English IV
IB 20th Century Topics
IB French Year II
IB Psychology
IB Theory of Knowledge
Calc III at the State University</p>
<p>MIT, UIUC, GA Tech, Northwestern, UChicago, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, UTenn. Knoxville for me.
SAT II’s in June… Retaking the ACT sometime, too.</p>
<p>How, may I ask, do any of you already know where you’re applying? You’re all freaking me out. (Though, I suppose, this wouldn’t be CC if you didn’t.)</p>
<p>^ I didn’t really know until spring break started and I started visiting tbh, though I’ve always kept it in the back of my mind.</p>
<p>You know, I had my heart set on schools such as JHU and UChicago for ages. Then I realized there was no way I could afford either. :P</p>
<p>I had never heard of TCNJ until a friend brought it up randomly in the car because both his parents went there… as soon as I started to do research I shifted my mindset. So much cheaper, gorgeous campus, and a great school overall. Ranked in Barrons 75 most competitive schools and top 10 happiest students, combined with me being a philomath (I like challenging courses/learning haha), its a sweet deal. I know I have a great shot at JHU but once I visited TCNJ it sealed the deal. Only one more year to go! :(</p>
<p>Liberal arts colleges FTW :]</p>
<p>^^ I’ve been visiting too, but I still don’t know! Haha. I’ve confirmed that Swarthmore is my top choice, but I’m not really sure where else I want to apply.</p>
<p>^ (Y)</p>
<p>^^I’m fond of them too. </p>
<p>-Smaller classes
-Professors do the teaching
-Snow! (Where I’d apply)
-Suburban location
-Intimate setting
-Emphasis on undergraduates</p>
<p>I’ll probably apply to UC’s too, but my sole purpose in doing so would be to receive the in-state tuition benefits.</p>
